Our colleagues at Garden Trader are developing a series of blogs to encourage people in self-isolation to get out into their gardens.

The blogs will also promote the importance of supporting local garden machinery dealers.

Garden Trader’s site manager Kate Godber said, “With gardening being one of the few activities at the moment we can do, without putting others at risk, we felt we should be promoting its benefits. Gardening has a great number of health benefits, in terms of exercise, our mental health and overall wellbeing. It allows us to get outside even when we are largely housebound.

“Our seasonal gardening tips will also support dealers during this time. We feel this latest initiative can be adopted by dealers too on their own social media platforms.”

The blogs will urge people to continue to shop with their local garden machinery dealers if they can. With many already offering home deliveries and extra customer support, it’s still possible to purchase and get machinery repaired with them.

The team will be sharing more over the coming weeks that they think will help. Visit gardentrader.co.uk to have a read and if there are any tips you would like to share please send them to us and the team will give your business a shout out!
