Head Gardener at The Alnwick Garden, Trevor Jones, and the rest of his team have welcomed their newest team member - robotic mower, the VIKING iMow.

Trevor, Head Gardener at The Alnwick Garden for eight years, was there to watch the iMow being installed at the base of the Garden's renowned Cherry Orchard, where it will trim the 500m² lawns that are admired by the Garden's 350,000 visitors each year.

The Alnwick Garden, a registered charity that runs a myriad of community events throughout the year, has agreed to trial the iMow as they move into the battery-powered garden tool space.

Trevor says, "We have a 12 man team here at Alnwick Garden that are kept extremely busy with the fifty acre site, so any extra help is most welcomed. We're looking forward to seeing how the iMow gets on - it will certainly save us a good couple of hours of mowing each week."

The team at VIKING and local dealership, Gustharts, were happy to install the iMow at The Alnwick Garden so the mower could start preparing the lawns for the busy months ahead.

The VIKING team were also pleased to offer the gardens some further STIHL cordless products to add to Trevor's fleet.
