We’re now all-electric in the garden!

Thanks to CIL funding from Summertown & St Margaret’s Community Forum, we have been able to replace all of our petrol gardening equipment with modern battery-electric equivalents with a new Einhell mower, strimmer / brushcutter, long-handle hedge trimmer and tiller / rotavator.

We’re delighted to share the news that, thanks to CIL funding from Summertown & St Margaret’s Community Forum, we have been able to replace all of our petrol gardening equipment with modern battery-electric equivalents with a new Einhell mower, strimmer / brushcutter , long-handle hedge trimmer and tiller / rotavator.

So, if you’re keen to prepare the ground at your allotment, trim that hedge before nesting season, tidy up the lawn or tackle that tricky patch at the back of the garden, we hope you’ll find our new equipment makes the job easier. We’ve been impressed by how powerful and robust the tools feel, amazing how things have come on since some of the older electrical kit we used to have!

We also hope we might inspire you to try out battery garden equipment for the first time, a great option if you’re wondering what to buy when your trusty old 2-stroke finally needs to be laid to rest.

If you want to find out more or have a try of whatever’s in stock, do pop in and have a chat with our librarians.
