The Burgon and Ball BoronGreen Hand Trowel is a high performance gardening essential, designed for gardeners who value durability, comfort and sustainability. Endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society, this premium hand trowel delivers professional level performance while meeting modern environmental standards.
Ideal for digging, planting, potting and soil preparation, the BoronGreen hand trowel features a wide, deep dish blade that carries the maximum amount of soil with every scoop. This makes planting quicker and more efficient, whether working in borders, raised beds, containers or allotments. The sharpened blade edges slice cleanly into soil, reducing resistance and effort during use.
What sets this trowel apart is its boron steel construction. Boron steel is stronger, tougher and more durable than traditional carbon steel, yet remains lightweight and easy to handle. It also holds its edge for longer, meaning less wear over time and consistently reliable performance. The steel head is made using 80% recycled steel, believed to be a first for UK garden tools, making this an excellent choice for environmentally conscious gardeners.
The precision forged tang is set at an ergonomic angle to support natural hand positioning and reduce strain during prolonged gardening sessions. This thoughtful design helps improve comfort and control, particularly during repetitive planting and digging tasks.
A distinctive green powder coated finish provides added protection against rust while giving the tool its recognisable BoronGreen appearance. The coating helps extend the life of the trowel while maintaining a clean and professional look season after season.
The handle is crafted from FSC certified white ash wood, chosen for its strength, resilience and comfortable grip. Adding a refined finishing touch, the end of the handle features a dark wood inlay bearing the Burgon and Ball ampersand, reflecting the brand’s attention to detail and craftsmanship. A twisted paper hanging cord allows for easy storage in sheds or on tool racks, helping keep gardening spaces tidy and organised.
Endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society, this BoronGreen hand trowel meets the highest standards of quality, performance and reliability. Like all RHS endorsed BoronGreen tools, it is backed by a 25 year guarantee, offering long term confidence and exceptional value.
Whether you are upgrading your own gardening tools or choosing a thoughtful gift for a keen gardener, the Burgon and Ball BoronGreen Hand Trowel combines strength, sustainability and timeless design in one essential tool.
