Hand Tools and Essentials

Our Hand tools and essentials collection brings together all the trusty pieces you reach for every time you step into the garden. From precision secateurs for tidy pruning to sturdy gardening forks and trowels for digging, planting and lifting, this is the kit that keeps beds, borders and pots in great shape all year round.

Whether you are refreshing containers on a balcony, tending an allotment or giving a much loved garden a seasonal tidy, you will find tools that feel comfortable in the hand and work hard alongside you. Think classic hand trowels and forks, neat transplanters for moving seedlings, cultivators to break up compacted soil, weeders for tackling deep rooted offenders and bulb planters that make light work of autumn and spring displays.

At Allotmate Essentials we choose hand tools and everyday essentials that are practical, reliable and enjoyable to use, so you can focus on the satisfying part, looking after your plants. Stock up on the basics, upgrade a worn out favourite or build a complete set that lives by the back door and is always ready to go.
