Dobbies Garden Centres has been announced as the first-ever sponsor of the Discover Scottish Gardens map, widely recognised as one of Scotland’s most popular tourism brochures.

With 200,000 copies distributed annually to both domestic and international visitors, alongside a strong online presence, the map showcases the significant contribution of Scotland’s garden tourism industry, valued at £200 million to the visitor economy. It also plays an important role in raising the profile of gardens, garden centres and related businesses across Scotland.

Laura Adamson, Head of PR, Communications and Events at Dobbies, said: “We’re proud to be the first official sponsor of the Discover Scottish Gardens map. With our strong Scottish heritage and passion for connecting people with gardening and outdoor living, it’s a natural fit for us to support an initiative that celebrates and promotes Scotland’s thriving horticultural sector.

“Our aim with this partnership is to help inspire more people to explore the incredible range of gardens and green spaces across Scotland.”

Craig Cameron, Discover Scottish Gardens Director, said: "This year we have doubled the print run to meet growing demand for our annual map, which shows the location of more than 130 of Scotland's finest gardens, from Orkney to the Mull of Galloway, that open their gates to the public. We are delighted to have Dobbies, a name that is synonymous with all that's good about gardening in Scotland, as our sponsor."

With 11 stores across Scotland, Dobbies continues to champion garden living, encouraging customers to enjoy their indoor and outdoor spaces throughout the year.

Through its sponsorship of the Discover Scottish Gardens map, Dobbies is further supporting gardens, communities and the continued growth of Scotland’s gardening sector.
