            Overpriced in my opinion. They do wonderful cream scones though!

              Yup, very overpriced - although a good place to spend hours mooching, with tea and cake as incentive ........
              Mate from work is coming to take me either Monday or Tuesday next week, strangely enough!!!!
              Need more compost - but expect there'll be other purchases along the way ........

                  There's a big Dobbies close to where I live. I don't think they are badly priced and often have good offers on!
                  I never visit the spin offs like the car wash and tea rooms and pet shop etc, but find they have a good variety for the gardener.
                  I would have thought it would have been business as usual though!

                    Don't think I've ever been to one

                    Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

                    Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

                      I love mooching about our local Dobbies, but I really only buy when they have offers on plants or compost etc.

                      I find them quite expensive on the whole.

                          Lol, that well known Garden Centre. Do take your point that they're good for basics but very basic
