Eight million people across the nation are calling in professionals to do simple gardening tasks such as mowing their lawn, according to new research.
The new research by Ideal Home Show reveals the most common gardening mistakes that not so green-fingered Brits across the nation are making , which common gardening jobs are most likely to be avoided and how the hobby affects mental health.
Whilst one in 20 (6%) are calling in a professional to start up their lawnmower, elsewhere, others seek professional help to teach them how to use a hose (6%), a rake (5%), and even water their plants (5%) and grass (4%) for them. This might be due to the fact one in five (19%) have never tended to their outdoor spaces.
