Blending traditional craftsmanship with modern design, the Burgon & Ball RHS Micro Secateurs – Terracotta are a standout choice for gardeners who appreciate both function and flair. Part of Burgon & Ball’s celebrated range of Royal Horticultural Society-endorsed tools, these compact secateurs bring professional-grade performance to the smallest pruning jobs.
At just 16cm in length, the Micro Secateur is designed for accuracy and ease, making it ideal for deadheading, trimming herbs, soft stem pruning, and light use around raised beds, borders, or houseplants. Its petite size makes it particularly comfortable for gardeners with smaller hands or those who prefer a lightweight tool. It’s also the perfect companion for those quick gardening sessions when you want something sharp, reliable, and easy to carry in your pocket.
The high-carbon steel bypass blade provides clean, precise cuts and excellent durability—ensuring sharpness that lasts through season after season of use. The bypass action is gentle on living plants, helping reduce damage and promote healthy regrowth.
Finished with a warm terracotta-coloured handle, these secateurs offer a stylish alternative to classic green tools, while the soft grip coating enhances comfort and control. Like all tools in the RHS-endorsed line, they’re crafted to the highest standards and come with the reassurance of a 10-year guarantee on cutting tools.
Whether you're gifting them to a new gardener or adding them to your own kit, the Micro Secateurs are proof that small tools can make a big impact.
Why We Love It at AllotMate Essentials
The terracotta Micro Secateurs are an everyday favourite at AllotMate HQ. We love how they tuck into a pocket, how sharp and easy they are to use, and the timeless terracotta finish makes them just a bit more special than your average pruners. They’re perfect for those fiddly tasks in tight spaces, and their smaller size makes them a dream for gardeners who find larger secateurs bulky or awkward. Plus, with that RHS endorsement and a decade-long guarantee, you know you’re investing in a tool that’ll go the distance.
