Sneeboer Hand-Forged 'Great Dixter' Trowel
£59.00
Ex Tax: £49.17
A long-bladed, hand-forged stainless steel trowel designed by Christopher Lloyd — horticulturalist and author, who for many years resided at Great Dixter developing its famous gardens. This narrow tool is especially suited for work amidst well planted borders, in rockeries, and between shrubs. Made in the Netherlands by Sneeboer, who began manufacturing garden tools in 1913. Originally designed to withstand the rigours of daily use by the professional horticulturalists of West-Friesland, their tools are still forged, ground, and assembled entirely by hand, offering the home or allotment gardener tools of rare and exceptional quality. Overall length is about 32cm.
Care Advice
Despite its name, stainless steel is not 100% rust proof. With that in mind, we still recommend hand washing, and storage in a dry environment.
Treat the wooden handle with a mineral oil when necessary to condition the wood and prevent warping and cracking.
