Dobbies, the garden centre retailer, is planning to open a new development which would add 120 new full and part time jobs in Liverpool.

Dobbies is one of the UK’s top garden centre brand names and has been in business since 1865. They have 25 stores across Scotland and England selling plants and gardening equipment.
