The Burgon and Ball BoronGreen Mid Handled Trowel is a high performance gardening essential designed for strength, comfort and sustainability. Endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society, this extended reach trowel offers outstanding quality for gardeners who want reliable tools that work hard season after season.
A mid handled trowel is ideal when you need extra reach without using a full length tool. It makes gardening at the back of borders easier and is particularly useful for raised beds, where the extra length helps reduce bending and over stretching. This mid length design supports a more comfortable working posture and offers excellent control for planting and soil work.
Built around boron steel, the BoronGreen range is made to outperform like for like carbon steel tools. Boron steel is stronger, tougher and more durable while remaining lightweight and easy to handle. It also holds an edge for longer, helping you maintain clean, effective digging performance over time. The head is made using 80% recycled steel, believed to be a first for UK garden tools, making it a responsible choice for gardeners looking for more sustainable options.
This classic trowel features a wide, deep dish blade designed to carry the maximum amount of soil with every scoop. It is ideal for planting bulbs, bedding plants and veg seedlings, as well as backfilling holes and moving compost. The sharpened edges slice cleanly into soil, reducing effort and making digging and planting feel smoother and more efficient.
The precision forged tang is set at an ergonomic angle to support natural hand positioning, improving comfort during longer gardening sessions. A tough green powder coated finish helps protect against rust and keeps the tool looking smart, while also adding the distinctive BoronGreen style.
The handle is crafted from FSC certified white ash wood, chosen for its strength, resilience and comfortable grip. A dark wood inlay at the end of the handle features the Burgon and Ball ampersand, adding a refined finishing touch. A twisted paper hanging cord makes storage simple and tidy in sheds or on tool racks.
Like all RHS endorsed BoronGreen tools, this mid handled trowel is backed by a 25 year guarantee, giving long term confidence and excellent value. Whether you are upgrading your own tool kit or choosing a thoughtful gift, this trowel is a dependable, sustainable and beautifully made choice for gardeners.
