TV meteorologist, Laura Tobin, has teamed up with Honda to launch a new series of online videos entitled 'Get The Mow How With Laura Tobin', looking into the relationship between weather and gardening.

Laura Tobin has become a Honda brand ambassador

The manufacturer says Laura will be joined by gardening and lawncare experts, as they consider how to maintain outdoor spaces under various and changing climates, through the seasons, while also reviewing their range of lawnmowers.

Honda say they have signed Laura Tobin as a brand ambassador for the 2021 gardening season. They say the series is intended to speak to new and seasoned gardeners, to provide insight on the weather’s impact on the garden and how to respond and act in kind. Topics and questions covered will include; at what temperature does grass start to grow?; when is the first cut?; and what height you should set your mower?.

Episode 1 sees Laura visit Stockton Bury Gardens, speaking to Tamsin Westhorpe, director of the four-acre open garden in Leominster. The pair discuss the first cut of the season, and the impact of climate change on mowing including the possibility of all year round cutting in the future. 

Honda say following episodes will look at the weather patterns occurring across spring, summer and autumn that will dictate the gardening to-do list. The company's range of lawnmowers will appear throughout.

Laura Tobin, said, “I am delighted to be working with Honda this year. It is so exciting to be able to talk about weather and gardens together as they have helped people to relieve so much stress in the pandemic. Climate change is influencing weather patterns more and more the knowledgeable experts I’ll be speaking to will explain how we should be gardening and looking after our lawns, while also providing interesting insight on lawncare.”  

Steve Morris, head of Honda Power Products UK, added, “We are so excited to be partnering with Laura and to be able to bring this series to life. We want people to enjoy their lawns as much as possible, and to do so you need to understand the weather’s impacts and, most importantly, be able to care for it properly with a durable and quality lawnmower, which Honda can provide in many shapes and forms.”
