Photos: Hedge perfection

Tim Mathers, of Florence, trims the hedge in front of his home in Florence. Mathers says he can tell from old photographs that the hedges have been there since the 1920s. He grew up in the house and then bought it from his family in 2015. “When I was a kid I used to have to do it with hedge trimmers, these make it a lot nicer,” said Mathers.
