So, what’s the takeaway? The Dobbies Garden Centre in Bury St Edmunds is a living gallery where every aisle offers a new composition. Whether you’re a pro with a DSLR or just you and your phone’s portrait mode, you’ll leave with ten photos you forgot you took. And maybe a lavender plant you didn’t need.
Next time you’re there, play a game: spot five people taking photos of the same thing. I guarantee you’ll find them. And if you see a woman in her seventies crouching by the hyacinths? Give her a nod. She knows what’s up.
Now, go forth and shoot. And please—please—show me your best compost bag portrait.
