Fiskars announce £3k garden makeover winner

A consumer from Coventry has won a £3,000 garden makeover in a competition that ran as part of Fiskars’ Weedpuller campaign last spring. 

Keith Hopwood (pictured, centre) will be able to transform his garden with plants, paving, patio decking and garden features.

He said: “Our garden is in such need of a makeover. We all love being outside, but often dream of how we could turn the garden into a really special outdoor living area. You've just made our dream come true. Thank you.”

Keith collected his prize from his local B&Q store with building manager Gary Young and Fiskars trade marketing manager James Karanicolas.

The Weedpuller competition, which attracted thousands of entries, was widely promoted via in-store display units and header cards, at customer trade shows and demo days.

Four packs of Fiskars garden tools, each worth £500 were also up for grabs.
