This is a seriously fancy trowel. The pointy shape makes it perfect for when you really need to 'get in there'. - BB

Sophie Conran, of the well-known Conran British design dynasty, brings her contemporary country house style to a wide range of gardening tools and accessories.

This long thin trowel is an invaluable garden tool, extremely useful for a large variety of gardening tasks. From digging in tight spaces to planting bulbs and long-rooted seedlings such as sweet peas, general weeding, as well as specifically weeding out long tap-rooted plants, the unique shape of this hand tool allows access where a trowel won’t fit.

The mirror-polished stainless steel of the tool head glides with minimal resistance through the soil. The stainless steel is rust-resistant and will keep rust at bay to stay looking bright and beautiful for years to come. The FSC® beech wooden handle is carefully shaped to fit satisfyingly into the gripped hand, and the turned ferrule in solid brass provides a secure and lasting connection between handle and body.

Presented in a stylish gift box, this unusual slender trowel makes a lovely gift for any gardener – or, of course, a very practical treat for yourself!

For peace of mind, this Sophie Conran for Burgon & Ball long thin trowel is covered by a ten-year guarantee against manufacturing defects.
