I've never been to one as there are none locally.

[Guest]

I have never been in one either and for some reason I thought they were owned by waitrose no idea why

[Nicos]

Here's the list....looks like there are loads in Scotland.

..just thought there might be a few decent sales to clear stock?...maybe?

Been to one, not often as wrong end of town. Mum uses it, il let her tell me if any sales

[Jay22]

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

[SusieG]

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 ........

[seasprout]

My nearest is an hour away, I went once, very few 'garden' bits, mostly furniture, scented candles, picture frames....

[Snadger]

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

[gardening_gal]

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

[Lumpy]

I once ordered some seeds from them and got a dead rhubarb crown.............anyhow I like Dobbie but it is a shame he was killed off in the film.
