Boron steel is stronger, more durable and tougher than a like-for-like carbon steel tool – without adding extra weight. It’s also better at holding an edge for longer. BoronGreen steel is 80% from recycled sources, believed to be a first in UK garden tools.

The essential gardening hand tool, this classic trowel features a wide, deep dish to carry the maximum load with every scoop. The tang (or neck) is precision forged to the perfect angle for ergonomic working.

A tough powder coating in a distinctive green helps protect from rust. The sharpened edges slice easily into soil, making light work of digging and planting. Adding an individual  design touch, there’s a beautiful dark wood inlay at the end of the wooden handle bearing the ‘&’ from our name. A hanging cord in twisted paper helps keep things tidy in the shed.

BoronGreen hand trowel is endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society, perhaps the ultimate accolade in the gardening world. Like all RHS-endorsed BoronGreen tools, this garden trowel is covered by a 25-year guarantee.
