Guide negotiates a fantastic deal with Mike's Mowers and Husqvarna.

Museum guide Graeme Wright has a lifetime’s experience in the lawn and garden machinery trade, earned through his Wrights Outdoor Equipment Centre Auckland business and Pillar Tools in Marlborough. Graeme knew that the AHC needed a new ride-on mower and used his trade connections to help. What resulted was a brilliant deal for a top-of-the-line machine, in which both Husqvarna NZ and David Eden of Mike’s Mowers came to the party.

The new ride-on is a Husqvarna Commercial rated Zero Turn Rider with a 5-year commercial warranty. Our gardeners, Erika and Matt, have quickly mastered driving the new machine and thoroughly enjoy its speed and manoeuvrability.

Thank you, Graeme, Husqvarna and Mike’s Mowers, Blenheim!
