Dobbies bought this Aberdeen garden centre from Findlay Clark in 2000 for �8.7m. Hopefully it will remain if Dobbies open their planned new Aberdeen garden centre.

DOBBIES GARDEN CENTRE, ABERDEEN - THE PLANTS


The outdoor plants area at this branch of Dobbies is a real gem for a medium sized garden centre. They have made the most of the area available by cramming it full of plants.

It's a great area to wander round with all the expected plants plus some unexpected ones. All the plants were in excellent condition.


The shrubs were arranged in alphabetic order making it easy to find specific plants. The paths were reasonably wide and most areas could be accessed by wheelchairs.

Most of the area was uncovered, and it was raining slightly when we visited. This didn't put off the locals though who clearly appreciate this valuable garden centre.


All hardy shrubs are covered by the great Dobbies 5 year plant guarantee.
