Take the hassle out of sowing and transplanting with the Garland Widger & Dibber Set – a simple but brilliantly effective combo that every gardener should have to hand. Whether you’re just starting your grow-your-own journey or you've been nurturing seedlings for years, this set makes one of the trickiest jobs in gardening easier, cleaner, and more enjoyable.
Let’s start with the widger – this neat little tool is a game-changer when it comes to handling seedlings. Designed to gently ease young plants and seedlings out of seed trays or pots, it helps avoid damaging those all-important roots. Its slim, slightly curved edge gives you control and precision, meaning you can lift your plants without squashing or bruising them. It’s especially handy during the pricking out stage when delicate seedlings need to be moved to bigger pots or into the ground.
Then there’s the dibber, your go-to tool for making just the right size hole in compost, soil, or seed-starting mix. No more guessing the depth or scrambling around for a pencil or stick to do the job. With the dibber, planting becomes more consistent, which can make a big difference to seedling success. Whether you’re planting seeds, plugs, or young transplants, the dibber gives you a tidy, even planting hole every time.
The two tools complement each other perfectly – lift with the widger, plant with the dibber. No mess, no fuss, just a smooth workflow from tray to soil. Ideal for use with seed trays, small pots, raised beds, or even containers on your balcony or windowsill. They’re compact and lightweight, so you can carry them with you around the garden or allotment, and they won’t take up much space in your tool bag or shed.
Both tools are made from durable plastic that’s easy to clean and built to last, even with regular use. The simple design means they’re also great for younger or beginner gardeners – a brilliant starter set for children or adults who are just getting into sowing and growing. Even seasoned green thumbs will appreciate having a clean, go-to pair like this on hand.
Whether you're sowing lettuce on your windowsill, potting on tomato plants in the greenhouse, or transplanting your cosmos into a raised bed, this set is a little time-saver that makes a big difference.
At this price point, it's also a great gift idea – pop it into a seed-starting hamper or pair it with some compostable pots and seed packets for a thoughtful present for any gardening enthusiast.
