A GLAMOROUS gardener has set tongues wagging in a quiet village by tending her patch wearing racy denim hot pants and crop tops.
Lucie Nicola, 39, has thousands of fans on social media, where she posts pictures of herself seeing to her lawn and plants.
She says she “wants to communicate all the things she has learned about gardening and wants to make it sexy, fun and interesting”.
But married mum Lucie’s antics are upsetting locals, who claim crowds of people are gathering to watch her whenever she is out pruning.
One indignant resident said: “She struts up and down with her lawnmower like she’s on a catwalk.”
Jeff True, 70, who has lived in Birchanger, Essex, for 20 years, said: “When I do the gardening I wear knee pads and old trousers.
“But if you have a good figure then in this day and age you show it off, I suppose. Down at the social club she’s definitely a hot topic of conversation.”
Lucie said: “Why should it all be about getting muddy in old rags? It’s not like I’m out there naked.
“No one will ever make me change. If anything, it will make me want to go even sexier. I guess I’m just not your typical gardener.”
