Garden centres reopening in other regions of Germany

In Germany, garden centres have now been permitted to open in more regions. Since Saturday 13 February 2021, - thus just in time for Valentine's Day - they have been open in Lower Saxony. Garden centres in Schleswig-Holstein may also reopen for business from 1 March. Both regions lie in the north of the country.
The coronavirus pandemic brought a significant boost to the German garden market during 2020. Compared with the previous year, the overall market volume grew by 10.2 per cent or EUR 1.9 bn to EUR 20.88 bn. In absolute terms, this equates to an increase of over EUR 1.9 bn compared with 2019.
