Great place to get a coffee and cake. Nice place to visit regardless, but especially good if your interested in plants or aquatics.
There's a friendly wee robin inside that's fun to try and spot (video). Probably only in winter tho.
The Fishkeeper Scotland inside is really good. There's other pet goods in the Dobbies as well.
Even has a Sainsbury's inside so you can get a grocery shop done too.
Debbies is one of my Favourite places to shop, I always enjoy shopping here however it could be slightly pricey and in the same time it’s easy to spot some really great deals.
It’s really well stocked so you will most probably find what are you’re looking for and even more.
From all sort of outdoors and indoors plants , herbs , gardening equipment , pet food , pet accessories , live fish and aquatic plants , ponds and ponds supplies etc, also it’s accommodated with a nice restaurant / Cafe for breakfast and coffee, also there is a small Sainsbury’s section there.
Overs all it’s a beautiful garden Center worth exploring.
Advantages:
Easy access and plenty of parking space
We are new to gardening and caught the bug during lock down
We really enjoy going to Dobbies Stirling the plant's always look great
When I was looking for information and some advice Colin was friendly and knowledgeable
a real asset to the garden centre
What a wonderful place to buy flowers and plants. Stop in and have a spot of tea and a cake or treat. Let you young children play in the soft play area.
Good place to go for inspiration on all your gardening needs friendly/helpful staff to deal with your enquiries. After treat yourself to a pot of tea/coffee in the restaurant good range of scrumptious food on offer at a reasonable price.
Massive collection of home and garden plants, helpful staff, nice big restaurant inside, plenty of parking spaces.
I love going to Dobbies and have been to a few,but this must be my favourite one.It is Massive.The array of truly,well looked after plants is mind blowing.The way some of the displays are laid out are beautiful.It was an absolute delight to walk around,if you haven't been go and have a look
Came in this afternoon to purchase a tree. Wasn't quite sure what we were looking for and was about to leave when i was approached by a very helpful gentleman called Douglas. He spent much time showing us different varieties, explaining how to nurture them and how they progress throughout the seasons. Very friendly and his knowledge is outstanding. Extremely pleased with our purchases. Would definitely return and seek out Douglas for any future gardening purchases.
It has everything for your garden and some more plus it has a lovely cafe /restaurant if you want a bite to eat .
Excellent quality, though a bit pricy for meals. Fantastic selection of plants, tools to suit all garden needs.
Usually good, wide selection. At Christmas they have quite a few items you will not find elsewhere. A pleasant surprise is that their fresh Christmas Trees are fresh, well taken care of, reasonably priced and you will be cheerfully assisted in picking out your tree.
As usual once you find someone who works there they are helpful
Went here for Santa grotto for the kids. Best grotto around really can't be beaten. The rest of the store is very pleasant and staff are friendly. Breakfast is good value and food in general is very nice. 2 free from KS a month if you are a member which more than pays for itself if you use the free drinks.
Love a wee visit to Dobbie's, breakfast is fantastic and also love a coffee & cream scone in the afternoon, then of course there's the garden centre, very friendly helpful staff, never caught the guy's name that helped me tonight, Thursday 3rd Novemer, he looked all over the place for blue grasses for me, thank you, back in today 2nd Jan 2017 for lunch, must say thoroughly enjoyed by myself and 2 grandchildren;-)
In for afternoon tea with my mum and 3 grandkids today, absolutely fantastic , will definitely book again, kids got plenty to choose from and enjoyed it,
I recently visited Dobbies in Stirling was looking for indoor and outdoor plants. Firstly met Carol who was not only a fountain of knowledge but such a lovely helpful person who clearly takes her job seriously. The we met Claire outdoors who not only gave us great advice but also helped get s very large plant into a very small car. Well Done Dobbies these two members of staff made it a joy to visit.

Excellent for lunch, or coffee tea and cake. All the staff are friendly and willing to help. This is one of my "go to places". The Restaurant provides good professional and friendly service and good views. In good weather it is great sitting outside in the sunshine with your coffee. Then a gentle meander through the plant section to see what is available and increase one's knowledge of plant names, colours, scents, both perennials and annuals, height and spread and hardiness (H factor).
