EDEN PROJECT HIRES ROBOT GARDENER
Husqvarna Automower installed

Popular visitor destination, the Eden Project, has added a new member to its horticultural team this spring.


Husqvarna Automower, which works unassisted throughout the day and night, has been installed at the Cornwall site to maintain the grounds surrounding the famous iconic bubble-like Biomes.

 


Nestled in a huge crater the size of 30 football pitches, the Eden Project Horticultural team have a job on their hands keeping the lawns in immaculate condition all year round. To help save time, the team turned to Husqvarna for an eco-friendly solution.


Kevin Ashmore, Husqvarna Professional UK Manager said, “With sustainability at the heart of the Eden Project it was important that whatever solution we provided was as eco-friendly as possible and the Automower fits the bill.”


Kevin added, “One of the key decision makers for the Eden Project was that Automower could be programmed to run through the night so as not to impact on any visitors during the day.”


Niki Hall, Specialist Horticulturist at the Eden Project said of the installation, "The arena is now in top condition and this allows more time for the horticulture team to spend in other areas rather than cutting the lawns. It is quiet and unobtrusive, though very funky - like a Formula One mower. It has no emissions and low energy consumption. It can also be used in all weathers.”
