Dobbies Garden Centres has confirmed its return as headline sponsor of Scotland’s national garden show, Scone Palace Garden Fair, for the second-year running, as the show celebrates its fifth year.

Taking place from 29 to 30 May, and set against the backdrop of Perthshire’s Scone Palace, the event is expected to welcome around 10,000 visitors across the two days. Scone Palace is one of Scotland’s most established events venues, hosting large-scale public events throughout the year.

The popular Garden Fair brings together a vibrant mix of horticultural displays, plant sales, gardening demonstrations, and hands-on workshops for garden fans to enjoy. Visitors can also enjoy the Scottish Garden Design competition, alongside a lineup of talks and panels from leading names in the industry.

Dobbies’ Green Team from stores across Scotland will be on hand throughout the weekend, offering expert advice, practical gardening inspiration and tips to help visitors make the most of their outdoor spaces.

Debbie Harding, Dobbies’ Chief People and Corporate Officer, who lives in Perthshire, said: "Last year we were headline sponsors for Scone Palace Garden Fair as part of our 160-year celebrations. As we continue to build on our Scottish heritage, and on the back of such a successful event last year, we’re thrilled to be supporting them again this year. 

“At Dobbies, we’re passionate about connecting with our local communities and helping people bring their gardens to life. We’re really looking forward to meeting fellow garden enthusiasts at this year’s event and sharing ideas, inspiration and our passion for gardens.”

Viscount William Stormont of Scone Palace added: "We’re excited to welcome Dobbies Garden Centres back as our headline sponsor. Their strong presence across Scotland and gardening expertise makes them a natural partner for the Garden Fair, and we’re looking forward to working together to deliver another fantastic event.”
