WORCESTER Garden Centre is "passionate about plants", according to a leading gardening expert.

The Droitwich Road centre, in Perdiswell, Worcester, won a half-day's consultancy with Andy Campbell, one of the top guru's in the garden centre industry, at the Garden Centre Association's annual conference.

The planteria team at the centre have enjoyed the benefits of Mr Campbell's vast experience during a workshop especially tailored for them.

"To have someone new look at and challenge some of the things you do and have been doing for years was a real eye opener to us all," said Bob Tannahill, centre manager.

"The team is even more highly motivated as a result of this and already things have been changed with a whole list of other things in the pipeline."
