We have had a few sunny days in the UK recently, which has prompted us to suddenly remember that there is an uncovered area attached to the property that we haven’t visited for the last six months. We like to call it our garden, but nature has been trying to claim it back as one of its own ever since we moved in. The only way to fight back against mother nature and her unrelenting army of flora is with good quality gardening tools. Thankfully, Stihl have a wide range to tackle a variety of garden dramas.
