Elevated gardeners. Crazy about gardens, our neighbors across the channel have struggled for years trying to figure out how to best  trim the hedges at Longleat House, in the English county of Wiltshire, without wasting too much time or becoming lost in the leafy twists and turns.  After intense reflection (in the style of Monty Python), someone must have cried “Eureka! Let’s give the hedge trimmers stilts!” Now almost a meter taller thanks to their metal devices, the gardeners can accomplish what used to take months in a few days. The stilts might also be useful for finding the path out of the Longleat House labyrinth.
