Our silent robot mower is out for its first cut of the season in our Dorset garden.... meanwhile, the traditional lawnmower is making sure the entire county knows it's back in action.
Athelhampton House has been around for over 500 years, but even we can appreciate a bit of modern tech in historic gardens, especially when it doesn't disturb our visitors who are enjoying a tranquil day out in Dorset.
If you are looking for a garden to visit near Dorchester, come and explore our historic gardens at Athelhampton. and tell us if you prefer the quiet hum of the future or the roaring power of the past!
This post is so timely for me! Just last weekend, I spent a good part of my Saturday on my Grasshopper mower https://grasshopper-mower.pissedconsumer.com/review.html, and it struck me how that time has become something I genuinely look forward to. There’s something quietly satisfying about the neat stripes and the fresh-cut smell—it’s my weird form of relaxation. For anyone feeling overwhelmed, I swear an hour of mowing can be as therapeutic as meditation. It gets the job done beautifully, sure, but for me, the real value is in that mental reset. Thanks for sparking a fun conversation about our lawn routines
The clash between a robot mower and a traditional lawnmower sounds both amusing and very relatable. I love how Athelhampton House incorporates new technology into its historic gardens while still maintaining tranquility Among Us for visitors. Such an experience makes a trip to Dorset much more enjoyable.
