This beautiful set of RHS-endorsed stainless steel planting trowel and dibber makes a lovely practical gift for a gardener. The planting trowel and the dibber both carry endorsement from the Royal Horticultural Society, possibly the highest accolade in gardening. Both hand tools have a uniquely-coloured painted FSC hardwood handle to complement the Asteraceae design, and the trowel head is etched with a delicate butterfly illustration.
The tools have been created to be perfect partners at planting time. The heart-shaped trowel is ideal for shallow digging and scooping, with a short wide head to move soil quickly and easily. The dibber offers a fast and simple way to plant seeds, bulbs and seedlings, even in grass or harder ground.
A beautiful new collection in the RHS Gifts for Gardeners series, the ‘Asteraceae’ design showcases blooms from the daisy family. These resilient flowers have a starring role to play in our gardens as summers last longer and autumns become warmer. They keep the colour going in a longer season, and also offer an important source of forage for pollinators when other flowers fade.
The elegant new design has been created by Burgon & Ball featuring illustrations dating illustrations dating from circa 1810, specially selected from the RHS Lindley Collections of historic botanical art. A soft sage green background is the perfect foil for the jewel-bright colours of the China aster and coreopsis.
