UPDATE: The order issued by Governor Whitmer does not ban the sale of garden products.
Per Politifact:
The order does not prohibit gardening or the sale of any particular product in Michigan. Stores in Michigan larger than 50,000 square feet must close areas for garden centers and plant nurseries, as well as those that sell carpet or flooring, furniture and paint.
More from Politifact:
In reality, executive order 2020-42, which went into effect April 9, 2020, requires larger stores to block off certain areas of their sales floors as a way of limiting the number of people in those stores. The order does not ban gardening or the sale of any product, including, as we mentioned in a previous fact-check, American flags.
END OF UPDATE
Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer is using her newfound power to the max and the Michigan citizens are fed up.
The stay-at-home order has been extended until May 1, but that’s not all. Regulations have been tightened up as people are not allowed to travel to friend’s houses.
The people of Michigan have had enough and taken to social media to express their displeasure over the abuse of power by Governor Whitmer.

For everyone defending @GovWhitmer stating she's trying to keep us safe. Explain to me how standing in line at a liquor store for the lotto is Essential? That's what I thought. #ImpeachWhitmer

Michigan’s Republican Speaker of the House Lee Chatfield believes that Whitmer has gone too far. He called it “the wrong call” and “bad for Michigan families.”
In Michigan, these are currently not allowed:
-Lawn care
-Construction
-Buying home improvement materials
-Buying seeds & plants
-Fishing if a motor is used(Just to name a few)
All these are safe. But the Governor says no. We can ensure safety & be reasonable. Let’s do both.

She may have gone too far and the citizens of Michigan are fired up about it. Despite this, Joe Biden is looking at her as a VP candidate.

In fact, they want to ban hydroxychloroquine.
