Key Essentials took home the award for the best ‘Plantie’ at this year’s HTA National Plant Show.

The competition, sponsored by Blooms of Bressingham, celebrated the beauty of plants through plant selfies taken by the exhibitors.

Amanda Smith from Key Essentials was thrilled to receive the award, which includes a bottle of bubbly and £1,000 worth of advertising in HTA News.

She says: “Thank you for making our show one to remember, receiving the Best Plantie was the perfect way to end a very successful and enjoyable couple of days."

Exhibitors were invited to enter their best plant pictures, which could be as creative or conservative as they liked. For example: plant close ups, plants in situ - a border, hanging basket or a pot, plants in an environment - nursery, retail space or garden, or plants with pals - capturing the relationship between plants and people and animals.

Entries were on display at the show and visitors were asked to vote for their favourite, with the Best ‘Plantie’ announced on Wednesday 24 June.
