A LOCAL garden centre has been named the top plant seller in Britain.

Webbs of Wychbold beat hundreds of other garden centres to the top spot after a rigorous inspection by judges from the Garden Centre Association (GCA), which represents the best garden retailers in Britain.

Webbs was voted the cream of the crop for selling the best indoor, outdoor and aquatic plants in the country. It is the only garden centre ever to win all three categories in the same year.

Group managing director, Ed Webb, said: "We've won more awards over the years than any other garden centre but to be the best plant seller in Britain is the crowning glory."
