Every gardener deserves tools they can rely on, and the Burgon & Ball Stainless Steel Planting Trowel is exactly that — a beautifully balanced, high-quality trowel that blends craftsmanship, comfort, and durability in one essential piece of kit. Endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS), this planting trowel has been rigorously tested and approved by one of the most trusted gardening organisations in the UK.
Whether you’re sowing sweet peas in deep pots, planting out young courgette seedlings, or refreshing your container displays for the season, this trowel’s unique shape and size make it ideal for both delicate and heavy-duty tasks. Its heart-shaped, pointed blade is perfectly designed for precise planting, giving you greater control when working in tight spaces or digging into compact soil. The deeply dished blade allows for easy scooping of soil and compost, helping you work faster and with less effort.
Crafted from mirror-polished stainless steel, the blade resists rust, reduces soil adhesion, and glides effortlessly through the ground. Not only does it look beautiful, but it also cleans up easily and remains sharp and smooth with continued use.
The handle is made from FSC®-certified hardwood, shaped for a natural, comfortable grip that supports prolonged use without strain. The handle is aligned in-line with the blade to maximise digging power – an ergonomic detail that makes a real difference during long planting sessions. A durable leather hanging cord finishes off the handle, allowing for convenient storage in your shed, greenhouse, or on a potting bench hook.
As with all Burgon & Ball RHS-endorsed tools, this planting trowel comes with a lifetime guarantee, giving you peace of mind that you're investing in quality that lasts.
