Get the mow how: Honda knows gardens are as important to our homes as any room in the house, more so than ever before. In a single day, the lawn is a running track for the dog, a football pitch for the kids and a dinner spot for the family. To withstand all this, we need to look after our lawn and gardens, and to do so successfully, we need to understand the significant role the weather plays.
To investigate and explore this intrinsic relationship between weather and gardening, Honda has teamed up with TV’s Broadcast Meteorologist, Laura Tobin, for the season ahead. A self-confessed weather fanatic, Laura’s career in meteorology started at the Met Office, before she moved to the RAF to provide mission-critical, aeronautical meteorology reports and briefings to flight crews. Since then, Laura has become one of the nation’s top weather forecasters, appearing regularly one some of the most-viewed national programmes hosted by leading broadcasters.
Over the course of the gardening season, Laura will feature in five episodes in which she will visit and speak to lawn and garden experts to uncover hints, tips and guidance that you can apply in your own garden, taking into account the influential effects of weather and climate change. Along the way, we will also be bringing you some handy information on how our range of Honda mowers can help you keep your lawn in optimum condition.
Our first video sees Laura visit Tamsin Westhorpe in the stunning, frost-kissed Stockton Bury Gardens, Herefordshire. The pair talk about what to expect from the weather in the first month of spring and what your care routine for the “backbone” of your garden, the lawn, should be, starting with the season’s first cut; looking at when, why and how to perform it.
We look at the constantly evolving climate patterns that have and are continuing to change mowing habits in your garden for good. This all means you may be mowing earlier in the season and for longer – demanding a durable, reliable and high quality lanwmower, such as the izy-ON HRG 466 XB, to live up to the task ahead.
In the video, Tamsin shares her experience of using the Izy and how she’s found Honda’s all-electric, Cordless mower to be a revelation thanks its clean and quiet operation as well as it’s user-centric features such as the Versamow Variable, single-speed propulsion and Universal Battery system.
