Press day at Hampton Court Flower Show, saw the launch of an epic fundraising venture between Perennial, Landscape Juice and Etesia.

The Monumental Mowerthon will be taking place in the autumn and will cover 1250 miles. Phil Voice of Landscape Juice Network will be driving an Etesia H124 Mower from Bergerac in France to John O’Groats in Scotland.

Talking with Les Malin of Etesia, they will be working hard to keep Phil on course to complete the epic journey on time. The H124 Mower will have a top speed of 20 miles and hour and will also have the addition of a cab to keep Mr Voice dry as our traditional Summer continues to be the wettest since records began.

Another nifty feature that Les may be included on the mower, is a tracking device. This will show you where, in real time, Phil has got to. So no cutting corners unless they’re grass!

We wish Phil and Perennial all the best with this Mad Cap Mowathon. If you would like to find out more and add your support for a charity which supports those in the horticultural industries please click on the Hort Aid link.
