is the template for many other Dobbies Garden Centres. |

DOBBIES GARDEN CENTRE, DUNDEE - THE PLANTS
 |
The outdoor plants area is more attractive compared to many other large
garden centres. Some attempt has been made to break the monotony of straight grid like
paths. We have seen better but this one is reasonably good.
The paths are wide enough for disabled access and they are free from obstructions. |
|
In comparison to most other Dobbies Garden Centres, the Dundee branch has a good
percentage of its sales area devoted to outdoor plants. There are a reasonable number
of high level signs to find your way about easily and the shrubs were clearly arranged
in alphabetic order. |
 |
 |
All the plants were in excellent condition and looked well cared for. The Dobbies five
year hardy plant guarantee should give additional peace of mind when buying expensive
plants. There was an unmanned information centre in the outdoor area providing lots of
useful information about specific plants. |
