Prime Minister David Cameron paid a visit to Wyevale Garden Centres' Melbicks centre in Birmingham at the weekend, talking policies and plant pots with customers and staff.
With just over two weeks to go until the general election, the Prime Minister was apparently keen to catch up with some of the nation's 30m-plus gardeners.
Centre manager James Taylor said: "It's 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 barbecues 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."
