Dobbies Garden Centre Peterborough

Went there for the houseplants. The variety was nice - probably 80 different species of plants. The part that stood out most to me was their special soil mixes made for the different types of plants (terrarium, philodendrons, alocasia etc.). They were well priced and perfect for a beginner. They also sold the components separately. My mum was able to pick up four plants (calatheas) that were a bit shabby for under £3 each - what a BARGAIN!!! The other plants were appropriately priced and the store was clean and nice to browse. The succulents were lacking although they had a few cacti that were nice.

A lovely garden centre that you could browse around for quite some time. Inside you also have a cafe serving hot food from jacket potatoes to cakes. There's an aquatics section. A pet area Homeware Clothes Indoor plants Furniture There's even mini golf outside !! A fresh meat counter Basically, quite alot of selection. Plenty of parking outside with disabled spaces by the door. Toilets inside. Dogs welcome. A lovely garden centre, I cannot fault and is a pleasure to visit !!

Dobbies is a great garden centre in the Hampton region of Peterborough. It is a large store with a wide range of goods for all your plant needs. They also stock items for your pets as well. In addition there are subsidiary companies including Maidenhead Aquatics, Hampton Butchers and the recently opened Waitrose which has taken over the space vacated by Sainsbury's. There is a large and very popular cafe with a good range of meals, cakes, snacks and drinks. There is a play area for children and an outdoor Roman themed crazy golf course. Toilets are well maintained. Dobbies often put events on especially for children to pique their interest in gardening and help to create a new generation of plant lovers and carers for the environment. There is a large carpark with generous spaces for families and disabled drivers. In the car park is a branch of We Buy Any Car. I find it a lovely place to visit.
