This year marks the 90th anniversary of Stiga’s founding and to celebrate the company is offering to give free eco-friendly gardening tools to 90 community groups.
Stiga is launching the We Care, That You Care campaign, which is linked to the company’s passion for nature and the pledge towards building a more sustainable future.
We Care, That You Care could help a group of gardeners in your local community.
Details on how to register a group are below, and it is hoped that the tools giveaway will help community gardeners transform their green spaces and gardens for years to come.
The range on offer includes battery-powered lawnmowers, brushcutters, hedgetrimmer and blowers. These machines help to reduce the impact of gardening on the environment as they don’t have a combustion engine that burns fuel, and as a result don’t emit exhaust gases that contain a significant percentage of harmful substances.
Consequently, they are pollution-free and make gardening healthier and more enjoyable for the community and the individual gardener.
Amanda Kincaid, Marketing Manager STIGA UK said:
“We think that We Care, That You Care is the perfect way to celebrate the 90th anniversary of STIGA. The campaign combines the benefits of sustainable gardening for the environment, together with the aspects of reinforcing social ties and offering a sense of belonging to a broader community. The STIGA team has always promoted gardening as a way of improving health and wellbeing, and this campaign will support 90 community garden groups to transform and sustain their green spaces for generations to come.”
How to apply
Anyone with a community gardening group can apply today. This includes community groups from schools and hospital gardens to urban gardens, food bank gardens, community gardens and guerrilla gardeners.
Register your group at Stiga’s website and see if you can be one of the 90.
The STIGA judging panel will assess applications and will notify successful parties, stating the free products that will be donated.
