Last week GTN called in at Dobbies Telford and Dobbies Peterborough and it was notable that there were some big gaps in new stocks, particularly aggregates, outdoor pots, plants and garden lighting, and at Telford there didn’t appear to be a great deal of growing media stock or garden furniture.

We asked Dobbies when they were expecting their centres to be fully stocked and today we have this response from a Dobbies spokesperson:

“With the new season nearly upon us, customers will see our new Spring and Summer gardening and outdoor living ranges being introduced across our stores and at dobbies.com. This includes 700 own brand gardening items that have been developed for the new season, including own brand tools, pots, grow lights, bulbs and seeds. 

“Our stock of aggregates and outdoor pots are due to arrive in-store before Easter, and our range of plants and garden lighting are increasing over the coming days and weeks. The current outdoor living ranges are available, with lots more landing for Easter, and we’ve had confirmation of containers landing in the UK.”
