If you are looking for somewhere to pick up some new plants for your garden or a special gift for someone, a garden centre could be the perfect place to go.
Garden centres not only have plenty of gardening equipment but many now have food halls, lifestyle sections, and even their own cafés.
Dobbies has garden centres across the UK and one can be found right on the edge of the city of York.
Dobbies offers a huge range of products as well as a place to enjoy a relaxing meal and events people can get involved in.
