Dobbies Garden Centre Reading

This Dobbies is located in Shinfield which is South from Reading. This is a good little garden centre. Go in through the main entrance and you are in the garden furniture and indoor plant section. Great selection of cacti here. Some other interesting plants as well. The coffee shop is off to the left and it’s a decent size. Through into the gift section where there are crafts and gifts and toys. Out back is the main plant area and there is a really good selection of all the various plants you would expect to find. You will also find a good selection of statues and plant pots. Back inside and there is the tool section then the food shop which has some great stuff in and of course the butchers. There is also the aquatics and pet section round the back, I didn’t go but believe it is still there. I’d recommend this as a place to visit.

Went to the cafe and they had no food other than cake by 3pm so a bit dissapointing.There is a nice variety of items, from homeware, books, candles, flowers, BBQ's etc and the staff were all friendly.

Have done shopping at Farm food store there.Disappointed.Pork belly skin covered by long disgusting hairs.Bag of potatoes half of them was rotten and green.I do expecting good quality for higher prices .Will avoid shopping there in future

Stopped in for some house plants, had heard good things about Dobbies. But disappointed by the small cramped section for house plants and many were half dead. Helpful staff.

Large selection of indoor and outdoor plants. Cafe was busy, a few mistakes made by the staff, but the food was hot and the coffee was strong!!Perfect time to go too as the flowers looked stunning.

Lovely festive afternoon tea. Great value. Friendly staff.

Very high quality plants at a premium price. Great food hall and coffee shop. Shame the fish and pond retailer has relocated to bracknell.

To start with there is a good car park with lots of space. There's plenty of choice of plants and garden sundries. The centre felt very clean and tidy. The plants were in good condition and looked well cared for.

Friendly reasonably priced plants and accessories wide range of plants. Small cafe with hot and cold drinks, cakes and small meals.
