PLANTS AREA
| The range of plants stocked at Dobbies Garden Centre in Paisley include
most gardener's favourites. Limited space means that there are no specialist areas to
note. All hardy plants come with Dobbies' well known five year guarantee. They all
looked to in good condition . The layout of the plants area was in a pleasant and
informal manner. There is a small covered area stocking seasonal plants but the majority
of the area is uncovered. |
 |
INDOOR SALES AREA
 |
The indoor sales area stocks a wide range of plant feeds, tools and general
garden accessories and this will meet the needs of the vast majority of gardeners.
Dobbies at Paisley also stock cards, gifts, games, barbecues and garden furniture.
The general layout of the indoor area is unremarkable but sufficiently informal to
encourage browsing. |
|
CAFE
| The cafe area is separate from the outside area and gave a bright and
airy appearance. The decor is basic with plastic tables and chairs but the atmosphere is
homely and friendly. They serve a full breakfast up to 11.30am at £4.95. Other meals are
mainly of the snack type including hot potatoes (£4.25), paninis (£4.50), baguettes
