PLANTS AREA

The range of plants stocked at Dobbies Garden Centre in Paisley include most gardener's favourites. Limited space means that there are no specialist areas to note. All hardy plants come with Dobbies' well known five year guarantee. They all looked to in good condition . The layout of the plants area was in a pleasant and informal manner. There is a small covered area stocking seasonal plants but the majority of the area is uncovered.
