Dobbies Garden Centres has announced that it has opened its second London-based store located on Chiswick High Road.

The opening is the fourth little Dobbies to open in the last year, following the success of the first three stores in Edinburgh, Bristol and, most recently, Westbourne Grove in Notting Hill.

The new store will be horticulturally focused with a range of houseplants, as well as convenience and sustainable gardening products. This is complemented by a range of selected gifts and seasonal products.

Graeme Jenkins, CEO at Dobbies, said: “The little dobbies stores are going from strength
to strength. The format is proving very successful, offering the Dobbies’ experience in towns
and cities. It has been created to meet the growing demand to shop local from an increasing
number of gardening and houseplant enthusiasts.

“As we open our fourth little Dobbies, the second of its kind in London, we are proud to see
our ambitious plans for growth coming to fruition, and it’s fantastic that this has been our
strongest little Dobbies opening so far.”
