Dobbies Edinburgh (Melville) is located in Lasswade just off the A772 Gilmerton Road near the Edinburgh City Bypass. It is the largest garden centre in Scotland. It is serviced by Lothian bus routes 3 and 29.
It’s also the Dobbies Head Office. Based in a rural location, within easy reach of Edinburgh city centre, our flagship centre naturally has an abundance of plants, outdoor and indoor furniture, gardening tools and equipment, toys and games, pet care and aquatic items and much more. You'll also find our restaurant and conservatory and gardening experts on hand to offer green-fingered tips, help and advice.
We're also pleased to announce the opening of our new Food To Go offering at our Edinburgh store. From 8am daily we'll be offering freshly made sandwiches, cakes and organic coffee to go from our farm shop within the garden centre.
Within our farm shop you'll also find a fantastic range of wines from Laithwaite's wines and fresh seafood from Loch Fyne.
And there's more retail therapy available with our retail village - scroll below for more details of what's in store.
*Please note that we stop serving hot food at 3pm. Our deli counter is open until 5.30pm Mon-Fri for hot drinks and cakes. Food to go from our farm shop is available from 8am daily.
