Dobbies Garden Centre Stirling

Usually good, wide selection. At Christmas they have quite a few items you will not find elsewhere. A pleasant surprise is that their fresh Christmas Trees are fresh, well taken care of, reasonably priced and you will be cheerfully assisted in picking out your tree. As usual once you find someone who works there they are helpful

Came in this afternoon to purchase a tree. Wasn't quite sure what we were looking for and was about to leave when i was approached by a very helpful gentleman called Douglas. He spent much time showing us different varieties, explaining how to nurture them and how they progress throughout the seasons. Very friendly and his knowledge is outstanding. Extremely pleased with our purchases. Would definitely return and seek out Douglas for any future gardening purchases.

Great place to get a coffee and cake. Nice place to visit regardless, but especially good if your interested in plants or aquatics. There's a friendly wee robin inside that's fun to try and spot (video). Probably only in winter tho. The Fishkeeper Scotland inside is really good. There's other pet goods in the Dobbies as well. Even has a Sainsbury's inside so you can get a grocery shop done too.

Excellent for lunch, or coffee tea and cake. All the staff are friendly and willing to help. This is one of my "go to places". The Restaurant provides good professional and friendly service and good views. In good weather it is great sitting outside in the sunshine with your coffee. Then a gentle meander through the plant section to see what is available and increase one's knowledge of plant names, colours, scents, both perennials and annuals, height and spread and hardiness (H factor).
