Dobbies invites nominations for national community initiative
To transform, restore or start their own indoor or outdoor green spaces.

Dobbies has launched a new initiative to help community and charity groups transform, restore or start their own indoor or outdoor green spaces. Dobbies Community Gardens is inviting anyone who has a community space that needs gardening knowledge and inspiration – indoors or outdoors – to get in touch.
Each Dobbie’ store will select a local project to support from the nominations that are made. The winning groups will receive products, tools and plants to help bring their community space to life during a personal-shopper session with a dedicated Dobbies colleague.
In addition, there will be volunteer hours allocated to help bring the project to fruition. Successful applicants will receive support over the year to keep their indoor or outdoor space blooming.
Nick Anderson, Dobbies’ operations director, said: “There are so many brilliant community groups near our stores. Our store colleagues are ready to take on a fresh challenge for this year and we want to hear from groups right across the UK who would benefit from our support.
“If anyone knows of a community group that has a garden living project in need of our help, please encourage them to enter.”
