VIKING and STIHL provided a shed-full of top tools to help the team behind the 'Love Your Garden' series on ITV 1.
The popular programme sees Alan Titchmarsh and an expert gardening team transform the gardens of truly special people - creating some stunning gardens up and down the country.
With just a few days to transform each garden, the team needed power tools they could rely on to make jobs like tilling, lawn mowing, hedge trimming and slab cutting, quicker, easier and more efficient – so they turned to the VIKING and STIHL ranges to help them out.
A whole shed-full of products were duly delivered to David Dodds whose team provides much of the muscle behind the makeovers on the Love Your Garden Show. David is founder of The Outdoor Room, regarded by many as one of the best landscaping companies in the country, and which has built gold-medal winning gardens at both the RHS Chelsea and Hampton Court Palace Flower Shows.
