Every drop counts. – Helping children with UNICEF

GARDENA and UNICEF have entered into a long-term partnership based on the slogan “Every drop counts” with the aim of allowing children and families access to clean drinking water. Consumers can also make a contribution in the year 2022 through the purchase of a limited edition of the Start Set Bed automatic, which is being sold in support of UNICEF’s work to provide support to children where it is urgently needed. With its WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene) programmes, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) works towards improving water and sanitation services for families in the poorest countries of the world.

The most important component for beautiful and healthy plants is an optimised supply of water. The GARDENA Micro-Drip-System is the intelligent system solution for accurate, economic drip irrigation on your balcony and patio as well as in vegetable and flower gardens. The right amount of water is delivered drop by drop precisely where the plant requires it: at the roots. The adjustable drip heads and nozzles allow water savings of up to 70 percent in comparison to conventional irrigation methods.

Automatic irrigation – targeted and optimally aligned

The ideal time to water your plants is in the early hours of the morning, when the ground is cool. At that time of day, losses through evaporation are lowest. But who wants to set their alarm clock in order to water their plants? An automatic irrigation control system renders early wake-up calls necessary. It can be used to reliably and conveniently control your irrigation.

The Start Set automatic represents the foundation for the efficient drip irrigation of planted areas and beds. The set contains all the components required for the automatic irrigation of a bed or raised bed containing up to 35 plants. Thanks to the patented “Quick & Easy” pipe connection technology, the pipe connection remains permanently sealed, and the irrigation system can easily be set up and extended at any time. With the Water Control Flex included in this set, irrigation time periods can be adjusted in cycles of seconds. In this way, irrigation can be flexibly, easily and automatically controlled using the Micro-Drip-System, and the water quantity output can be individually aligned to each plant.

Irrigate your garden and do good at the same time

In 2022, too, consumers can do good. For each purchase of a limited UNICEF Edition of the GARDENA Start Set automatic for beds and raised beds, GARDENA donates EUR 25.00 to the international UNICEF programmes concerning water, sanitation and hygiene. The Start Set Bed automatic in support of UNICEF is available for purchase in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Spain and France.
