Our story
It all started in 1865 with James Dobbie who created a business selling seeds. He named it Dobbie & Co. Over the next 150 years the company built up a customer base and started opening garden centres that fast became a go-to destination.
We are now proud to offer 68 stores across the UK.
We are more than a shopping destination; we exist to enrich people’s lives and nurture connections between people, the community and the environment.
We do this by offering carefully considered ranges in-store and online, high quality services, great restaurants as well as engaging experiences.
