At Dobbies, we're proud to have history dating back to 1865. Founded by James Dobbies, we're the UK's largest garden centre retailer, with 3,800 colleagues and 77 stores, including six Little Dobbies, and a Central Support Office near Edinburgh.

Our passion and joy for gardens and plants is what makes us special. In our stores, we showcase this through own brand and branded products, concession partners and services. We have something for every season, occasion and style of garden, outside and in.

Many of our stores also feature a restaurant or coffee shop, where customers can enjoy refreshments or meals in a relaxed and welcoming environment.

At Dobbies, we champion garden living all-year-round and offer a calendar of events and experiences that bring people and communities together.

We're committed to being a great place to work. We're one team and we encourage our colleagues to be the best version of themselves, every day; to share their wins and celebrate success. Together, we make it work for our customers.
