A garden centre chain is preparing for the festive season.

Dobbies has welcomed the delivery of 40,000 poinsettias to its stores across the UK, including the Beaconsfield shop, from Wednesday, November 13.

The garden centre is expecting a sell-out season for all varieties, including the classic red and coloured poinsettias.

Dobbies' senior plant buyer, Claire Bishop, said: "Poinsettias have been a Christmas staple for generations, adding a touch of nostalgia to the festive season, so we’re excited to welcome the delivery of 40,000 into stores to grow the festive cheer."

"Our customers loved the colourful pink variety last year, so we’ve brought these back for 2024, along with white and classic red for those looking to create a classic Christmas display."
