Fiskars and James Wong wow at Wyevale



Fiskars and James Wong have a mission to revolutionise gardening to show just how enjoyable, easy and fun gardening and growing can be.  

As part of this mission, Fiskars and James Wong recently visited Bicester Avenue, a Wyevale Garden Centre.

Throughout the day, James and the Fiskars' team worked closely with the staff at Bicester Avenue to answer customers' gardening related questions and queries and provide simple tips and tricks that will make a big difference to their gardens.

James Karanicolas, Trade Marketing Manager of Fiskars UK, says: "These events are really important for us to spread the word that gardening should be fun and not a chore. James Wong has a great ability to connect and educate people about gardening without making it seem complicated.

"That's a real benefit as there's lots of keen growers and plant lovers who wouldn't necessarily describe themselves as knowledgeable gardeners."

The event also gave shoppers an opportunity to trial Fiskars products and see how ergonomic, beautifully designed and easy to use tools can make gardening easier and more enjoyable.
