Statement re initiation of legal proceedings

The Board of Dobbies Garden Centres plc ("Dobbies" or the "Company") (AIM: DGC)
announces that on 8 May 2008 proceedings were initiated by West Coast Capital
(Lios) Limited ("WCC") seeking an interim order to block the Company's proposed
open offer to shareholders (the "Open Offer").

The Board has carefully considered the merits of the Open Offer and believes
that the Open Offer is in the best interests of the Company and all of its
shareholders.  The Open Offer will enable the Company to progress its stated
expansion plans and the Board believes that it provides access to funding on
attractive terms in current market conditions which will be earnings enhancing.

The Company intends to present a robust defence of its strategy at the court
hearing.

Dobbies is bound by legal process and confidentiality and it would not be
appropriate to comment further at this stage.  The Board of Dobbies hopes for an
early resolution in order to allow it to concentrate its energies on running the
business to deliver returns to the benefit of all shareholders.
