Henri Lansbury is set to hang up his boots for pastures new despite recently winning Premier League promotion with Luton.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The former Arsenal academy player is set to embark on a gardening career and revealed his off-the-field passion following a lawn mower celebration against Hull last season.<\/p>\n

“It’s massive [for me]. It keeps me away from the training ground with the lads. I’ll shout out the boys at Grass Gains [a blend of organic fertilisers], they have been crucial to this. It makes your grass nice and green,” he said.<\/p>\n

    The 32-year-old is moving to Monaco where he will be working on the Ligue 1’s side’s pitches after coming up with a new formula for the aforementioned Grass Gains.<\/p>\n

    “It came about during the first lockdown when I was stuck at home and got into gardening,” he told Talksport<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    “I started to spray my weeds with toxic stuff and put toxic fertiliser down and my missus wasn’t too happy about the kids running on the grass straight after. I was trying to usher them off and she said ‘why can’t they just make an organic fertiliser?’ I put my head together with my mate and me and the boys have cracked on and taken it to another level.”<\/p>\n
