Our colleagues are passionate about gardens and plants, championing garden living all year round to create experiences that bring people and communities together.
As part of Dobbies Community Gardens, we will donate plants, tools and gardening equipment to help bring your green space to life. In addition to this, there will be volunteer hours allocated, where possible.
Applications are now open and entering is easy. Complete this short form and tell us how you would like to transform your indoor or outdoor space and bring a smile to your local community.
The closing date for all entries is 5pm, 31 March 2026.
Nominated projects will be invited along to their local store in May, and the winner will be announced. The winning team for each store will meet the Dobbies’ colleagues that will support them throughout the project.
