David Hedges-Gower in lawns link-up with Homebase

Regular visitor to the network, David Hedges-Gower, has joined forces with garden retailer Homebase to offer help and advice to tackle grass that just won’t grow to getting unsightly brown patches back to a perfect shade of green.

With over 35 years’ experience of working with lawns, David is passionate about sharing his experience and knowledge. From his early days maintaining the greens of some of the UK’s leading golf courses, including Oxfordshire Golf Club to big organisations including the RHS and National Trust.

David Hedges-Gower said: “It’s fantastic that Homebase are championing an area of gardening that is often forgotten about and left to its own devices. I’m delighted to have the opportunity to share my trade secrets and help the nation learn to love their lawns.”

Sarah Coldrake, garden tools buyer for Homebase, said: “We are thrilled to have David on board as an advisor for our growing lawn care range. He shares our passion for ensuring customers have access to information and advice to look after their lawns, and we are excited to be working with him.”

David will be joining Homebases’ stand at The Garden Press event on the 12 February 2015, offering tips and advice on lawn care and maintenance to visitors attending the show.
