The competition, sponsored by EGO Power+ is now in its 12th year and celebrates passionate gardeners and rewards them for their dedication. Stuart’s new garden tools are both powered by EGO’s arc-lithium battery.

Selby Garden Machinery, founded in 1998, supplies, services and repairs garden machinery in Selby, York, Leeds, Goole, Doncaster and surrounding areas. It has been stocking EGO Power+ products for the past three years.

During the height of the mowing season, Stuart can be found tending to his lawn twice a day, three times a week. His lawn, and its meticulous edging, takes approximately an hour each time, meaning that Stuart has clocked up some impressive gardening hours over the 40 years of looking after his lawn!

“The lawn is my pride and joy, and has been a labour of love for years. I have spent many a year perfecting my garden, particularly the lawn, and have learnt that there is never a finished article. It’s a passion I have had for over 40 years”, enthused Stuart.

Mark Gordon of Selby Garden Machinery, commented: “EGO products have proved to be very popular with our customers so we were delighted to be asked to be involved with Britain’s Best Lawn. Stuart’s lawn and garden are stunning and he was very pleased to receive his new EGO lawnmower and multitool.”

The award gained a lot of publicity this year with the story being featured natonally by The Mirror, Mail, Times, Star, Sun and Express as well as BBC Breakfast.
