Judy Deveson, Chair of Stony Stratford in Bloom stated,”Stony Stratford in Bloom is hugely grateful to STIGA for donating such a fabulous array of tools for our community gardening projects. The strimmers, hedge-cutters and chainsaws will be immensely useful for us in cutting back ivy, self-seeded saplings and brambles and keeping the paths trimmed at York House Community Gardens and at the North End Pond and Wildlife area and orchard. The leaf blowers will assist us in bagging up leaves for mulch for our No-Dig gardening
The SSIB volunteers work hard to grow vegetables and fruit for the Wolverton King’s Food Bank – and you’ve just made our lives decidedly easier!”
George Browns, who are a local STIGA dealer, kindly delivered the products to the Stony Stratford in Bloom team. This dealership was founded In 1830, when a young George Brown moved 8 miles from Houghton Regis to start a business as a blacksmith in Leighton Buzzard. His decision led to the foundation of a business that has been an important part of Leighton Buzzard’s commercial scene for the last 194 years.
Tom Smith, Ecommerce Manager at George Browns, said “Contributing to our community was a truly rewarding experience for all of us at George Browns, and we’re thrilled to support Stony Stratford In Bloom in their inspiring efforts. We hope that the tools donated will help them continue their passionate work, enhancing the town’s beauty and bringing smiles to the faces of Stony Stratford residents.”
