If you've ever wondered how some garden centres manage to get coverage of their spring and summer ranges into the national press and glossy magazines during the period they are on sale the reason is that they hold press launches in London six months prior to the actual season.

That's why Dobbies held their second Spring Summer preview last week in Marylebone, London.  On a drab, damp November day, journalists were treated to a warming summer display of the Dobbies outdoor themes for 2020: Rustic Farmhouse, Urban Coastal, Moroccan Mood and Colour Pop.

Throughout the themes was the underlying trend of the Fifth Room: Houseplants featured large in each of the room sets to illustrate the perfect solutions to blending exterior and interior spaces.
