What Our Participants Say:
''My lawn journey started during COVID lockdown when I decided to tidy up my lawn. I had no previous experience and what followed wasn't expected, but it quickly turned into a passion and a goal to achieve the perfect lawn. I began to doing my own research and quickly discovered Allett and their amazing mowers! I then went about persuading my wife to allow me to purchase one and as they say ‘there was no going back’! Being enthusiastic about your lawn opens up a whole new world of fellow enthusiasts, who are so friendly and helpful, gives real pride and probably most important of all is enjoyable and extremely relaxing. Whilst there is a lot of information on lawn care available on line, I wanted to speak to experts in person. This allowed me to interact with those individuals re specific areas of lawn care, whilst also sharing ideas with other likeminded people. Hence my attendance on the Allett Lawn Academy. Whilst the whole day was brilliant, I particularly enjoyed the talk by Richard and the opportunity to ask questions and indeed hear other people’s issues around the topics he covered, which were very comprehensive. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending the day to others, it is extremely good value, amazingly informative and run by very knowledgeable, friendly and professional people''. (Richard Burge)''
''Thank you for organising and managing the course. Although I am not a gardening professional, I thoroughly enjoyed the course and took away a lot of knowledge about lawns and the management of them. Once again thanks'' (Michael Stanton)

“Do you love mowing? Do you need a few laughs to get you through the chore? Is it time to get your mow on? Look no further. The Allett Lawn Academy has all the answers and more. We all had a really enjoyable time. Richard Salmon, Austin Jarrett and the Allett Lawnmower team who were there were amazing and their knowledge remarkable. Very much looking forward to attending their Level 2 course” Costas Ioulianou
- ''I was a little apprehensive as to whether I would be a fish out of water or it was not going to hold my interest but no it was absolutely fascinating. The people I was sat with on my table were all enthusiastic amateurs. I half expected there would be professionals who would be taking things over but there was a nice mix of questions from amateurs and professionals'' (Ian Ditchfield)
''The content for the course is given in a very easy and engaging fashion with plenty of opportunity for questions from the audience of lawn care professionals and home lawn enthusiasts. Simply having the chance to chat everything lawn related with a bunch of folk who are equally passionate about lawn care as myself contributed to making the day a worthwhile experience'' (Jonathan Gormon)
''Thank you for a interesting and informative day. I am sure we all learned something, and I found it most enjoyable''. (Steve Gorton)
