Dobbies launches community gardens initiative

Offering local schools, charities and community groups across the country the opportunity to receive support for their green spaces.

Dobbies Garden Centres is welcoming applications for its Community Gardens initiative, offering local schools, charities and community groups across the country the opportunity to receive support for their green spaces. The chain is inviting groups to get in touch with information about the indoor or outdoor green space they are looking to transform, restore or start, and what they would be looking to do with Dobbies’ support. 

Dobbies says it is passionate about giving back to the community, and in the last year it has supported more than 350 local groups through its local initiatives. Successful groups will get the garden centre’s help through product, tools and plant donations to help bring this community space to life and keep it blooming throughout the year.

'The next generation of gardeners'
Nick Anderson, operations director for Dobbies, said: “There are so many fantastic local groups near our stores and Dobbies Community Gardens gives us the opportunity to give something back. We’re always looking to inspire the next generation of gardeners, or offer a helping hand to those groups looking to freshen up their communal garden areas.”
