Discover the perfect combination of form and function with the Sophie Conran for Burgon & Ball Garden Trowel – a must-have tool for any gardener who appreciates elegance as much as utility. Part of the award-winning collection by renowned British designer Sophie Conran, daughter of the iconic Terence Conran, this beautifully crafted garden trowel brings timeless style and everyday practicality together in perfect harmony.
Inspired by the charm of English country gardens and the heritage of traditional hand tools, this trowel is designed specifically for those who love to work closely with the earth. It’s not just about gardening – it’s about making the experience feel joyful, refined, and deeply satisfying. Whether you're potting herbs on the balcony, tending to raised beds, or planting bulbs in your garden border, this trowel makes every task more pleasurable.
The trowel features a deeply dished stainless steel head with softly curved sides, allowing you to scoop up generous amounts of soil without the annoying spills. The polished stainless steel finish offers exceptional rust resistance and ensures that your tool stays gleaming for years to come. Its carefully balanced shape makes it noticeably lighter than many standard trowels, which means less strain on your hands and wrists – especially helpful during longer planting sessions or for those with smaller hands.
The smooth, ergonomically shaped handle is made from sustainably sourced, waxed FSC® beechwood. It fits beautifully in the hand, providing a reassuring grip even in damp conditions. The subtle ridges and natural wood grain not only enhance the tactile experience but also echo the tool’s artisanal craftsmanship. A robust brass ferrule ensures a secure, long-lasting connection between the wooden handle and the steel head, offering both durability and an added touch of classic sophistication.
Each trowel is finished with an etched maker’s mark: “Sophie Conran for Burgon & Ball,” adding a distinctive signature to this elegant tool. It’s more than just a garden implement – it’s a personal item, a gift-worthy piece that elevates the everyday rituals of gardening into something special.
Presented in a recyclable, beautifully designed gift box, the Sophie Conran Trowel makes a thoughtful present for gardening enthusiasts, design lovers, or anyone who enjoys spending time outdoors. Whether you’re gifting it for birthdays, Mother’s Day, housewarmings, or simply to show appreciation, it’s sure to be cherished for years to come.
And for complete peace of mind, this trowel is backed by a 10-year manufacturer’s guarantee against defects, reflecting the commitment to quality craftsmanship from both Sophie Conran and Burgon & Ball – a Sheffield-based company with over 280 years of heritage in steel toolmaking.
