Work Commences on New Dobbies at Southport

Work has commenced on a new £10m state of the art Garden World at Southport.
 
All set to open in March 2008, as well as providing a 55 thousand sq ft garden centre, the new facility will offer an enjoyable leisure experience and an attraction to the Southport area in its own right.  The garden centre will be a major destination for homes and gardens retailing.
 
Located on the eastern edge of the town, the highly visible 15 acre site occupies a rural position within Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council.
 
The new Garden World will offer an extensive indoor and outdoor plant and gardening area, a Farm Foodhall and Deli boasting some of the finest locally sourced fresh and organic produce available in the region, a specialist Aquatics department, an indoor range including a bath and home products, and a large restaurant with conservatory.
 
Set within beautifully landscaped display gardens, the new Garden World will also house an innovative visitor attraction called The Greenhouse that will give visitors the opportunity to find out more about plants and how important they are for all our lives.  Practical and useful, the visitor attraction will be both high tech and hands on and aimed at all ages.
