A GARDEN centre whose roots in the county date back to the 1800s is the latest business to back a summer art trail through Worcester. Webbs Garden Centres is to sponsor an elephant for Worcester’s Big Parade – one of around 65 sculptures, large and small, which will go on display in the city, with each large elephant then auctioned to raise funds for St Richard’s Hospice. With the event opening on July 12 for eight weeks, the elephants have already made their arrival locally and will shortly be making their way to artists ready to be painted. Edward Webb, owner of Webbs Garden Centres, and great-great-grandson of the founder, said: “As a family business, which is all about an appreciation of nature and the outdoors, we were really excited to hear about Worcester’s second public art trail encouraging local families to get out and about on foot this summer.
