At Dobbies, we have been helping Britain grow for 160 years. Now, we’re proud to announce our partnership with Alzheimer’s Research UK. Together, we are working to protect memories for the future by promoting brain health and funding research that will lead us to a cure for dementia.

Right now, almost one million people are living with dementia in the UK. Tragically, not one of them will survive.

The UK’s leading dementia research charity, Alzheimer’s Research UK, is working to change this by revolutionising the way dementia is treated, diagnosed, and prevented.

But they can’t do it alone.

And that’s where Dobbies come in.

Gardening is a great way to show our brains some love and this can help reduce the risk of dementia. Throughout our partnership, we will inspire people to keep their brain healthy through gardening and garden living.

We already know this partnership will bloom into something truly special, and we can’t wait to share the journey with you. Thank you
