Automatic irrigation systems
Automatic irrigation systems are a great relief for gardeners, especially in the hot summer months. They can be set to water plants exactly when they need it, helping to save water while ensuring optimal supply.
Solar powered garden lighting
Solar-powered garden lights are not only environmentally friendly, but also extremely practical. During the day they charge themselves with solar energy to illuminate the garden atmospherically in the evening. From floor lights to decorative string lights, there are many ways to illuminate your outdoor space.
Garden tool with battery operation
Battery-operated garden tools such as lawnmowers, hedge trimmers and grass trimmers offer the freedom to work without annoying cables. Equipped with powerful batteries, they enable wireless and comfortable work in the garden without having to forego the performance of a conventional tool.
Weather sensors
Weather sensors are intelligent devices that monitor the weather in the garden and help adjust garden care accordingly. From rain sensors that automatically adjust irrigation to soil moisture sensors that tell when plants need water, these devices, depending on the version, provide valuable information for efficient garden maintenance.
Garden robot
Garden robots are the ideal solution for anyone who doesn’t have the time or desire to mow their lawn regularly. These intelligent devices can mow the lawn independently while their owners relax or do other garden work. Equipped with sophisticated sensors and cameras, they navigate safely through the garden and ensure an evenly mown lawn.
