British Prime Minister David Cameron visited Melbicks, a Wyevale Garden Centre, in Birmingham today, talking policies and plantpots with customers and staff.

It's the second Ministerial visit in a fortnight to Wyevale Garden Centres, with George Osborne attending Syon Park earlier in the month.

With just 18 days to go until the election, the Prime Minister was keen to talk to some of the nation’s more than 30 million gardeners.

James Taylor, Centre Manager for Melbicks, a Wyevale Garden Centre, said: “It is always great to share tips with customers, and today was no exception with the Prime Minister stopping by.

"With the sun shining, he commented how the weather was perfect for barbeques and told us he’s a keen herb gardener but admitted he’s a bit behind this year because he has been so busy with other things.”
