Very helpful staff
Very helpful staff. Loved my free pot plants following a complimentary e voucher. I also enjoyed using my Dobbies discount card. Thank you!
Not very happy
Not very happy. I presented printed vouchers for £5 off (spend £25) and various points. It looked like he had entered all of them at checkout, but when I examined the bill later I saw the £5 discount had not been applied. Also, I was charged for 7 lavenders - I got six (3 for 2 offer).
Often poor plant info
It is a shame that information regarding plants for sale is such a struggle. Info clearly stated should include whether annual or perennial, sun or shade, deciduous or evergreen,, height and width. Too often it is necessary to struggle through poorly labelled tickets and often quite inaccessible labels .

Really good plants
Really good plants. We had lunch which was not as good as it was before the changes, which was borne out by being able to get a table without booking and not so many people there. The staff are still friendly in the restaurant and within the garden centre, mostly knowledgeable.

Mostly good selection of plants, but they are quite expensive. The membership rewards are great as I had some vouchers. Friendly staff
Breakfast at Dobbie
We decided to order a traditional breakfast and a vegetarian breakfast. They were cooked beautifully and we thoroughly enjoyed them. The staff were, as always, friendly and helpful. Will do it again.
