Dobbies Garden Centres - Derby Reviews 506

We were able to buy what we needed plus a few things extra. The staff were lovely and the garden centre was full of interesting stuff. Always a pleasure to visit, and the Sainsburys concession is a fabulous addition

It is a while since I have been to Dobbies and I was very impressed with the improvement.

It was a nice surprise to be taken out and enjoy coffee and cake and get some spring bulbs

Have bought two shrubs on separate occasions - very happy with the plants themselves but they lacked information on the expected height and spread they would reach. This info is very useful when deciding if they are appropriate. Plants from other garden centres have this information, including preferred position for planting (full sun, shade etc).

A enjoyable birthday treat thank you and managed to grab some bargains from Sainsburys and my dog's favourite dog food. Very well organised now with the new arrangements.

Quality service and goods. Helpful and friendly staff.

We keep coming back to Dobbies hoping it will be better , still not enough staff to help with enquiries before buying products, not enough staff on the tills either.

Picked up a couple of items for birthday gifts 10/10 for that. Had a cup of tea in the cafe and once again had to ask for a clean cup. This is the 3rd time I have had to do this.
I would have thought that (especially since covid) cleanliness was paramount..... they shrug shoulders and blame the dishwasher- obviously they do not check....

Always enjoy a walk around the garden section always a large array of boarder plants.

Good choice but some plants were dry .l found what l wanted compost and help to put them in the car .

Service at till was very good.

Staff lovely. Only down side is the wait for food .

Great nursery has everything you need and helpful staff.

This visit only had coffee so can ‘ t comment on food. The staff are always pleasant and helpful, although service is very slow.

Since to took over this Garden Centre at Findern in Derbyshire we have enjoyed all our visits and everything that we purchased was good value and since our first purchase we have more than our share of the lovely bargains we see on every visit

Lovely staff which were friendly and helpful.
Great products and great sale items.

Nice place to wander around and browse. Cafe has good coffee and cake.

I was there with my wife for my birthday cuppa and cake. These were very enjoyable. We were impressed by the range and value of the menu and the look of the plates coming out of the kitchen, so resolved to return sometime soon for lunch.
My usual visit to casualty corner didn't come up with any plants I wanted to nurture, but in the main seasonal section were some much-reduced pots of Calibrachoa, a plant I've not met before. The two I bought are looking good for a few weeks of colourful flowers.
