• About this trowel

  A lot of thought has gone into this stylish trowel from Burgon & Ball. With a wide dish for plentiful scooping, a polished stainless steel finish for anti-rust protection, and a precision-forged tang (that’s the sloped bit that connects the handle with the scoop) for optimal strength, it’s a serious bit of kit for horti enthusiasts. 

  Founded in Sheffield in 1730, Burgon & Ball is the oldest maker of gardening tools and accessories in the UK, and the folks there really know their stuff. All of the company’s stainless steel tools, including this trowel, have been endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society since 2016 – a gold star in the gardening world. Complete the set with the matching stainless steel fork.
