I just got off the phone with MDARD about garden centers and they have decided that garden centers are not deemed to be essential businesses during the COVID-19 shutdown. I have asked for them to reconsider since the home supply stores are not affected by the order. They will discuss it more but for now the order is garden centers must remain closed.
