We would like to reassure our customers that we will continue to create a safe and happy environment for our customers to shop and our staff to work. We feel the following points will benefit all:

• You will find hand sanitizer at the entrance as well as other points throughout the garden centres
• Staff will continue to wear masks whilst inside the garden centre. We would encourage customers to do the same.
• Although it’s not a mandatory requirement, customers visiting our coffee shops will still be able to sign in manually or with the QR code for NHS track and trace.
• Card/Contactless payment is preferred, although we will accept cash.

I am sure you will agree that taking a slightly cautious approach to the easing of restrictions is the right approach. We will be constantly reviewing and updating our guidance as we adjust to this next phase in dealing with the pandemic.
