Tools

Gardening is much more enjoyable when you invest in good tools. They are not cheap, which is why we always say: "Don't buy them online, try them out first." Some tools feel much better to use than others. We use the tools we sell ourselves every day. If you like, you can try out our own tools at the nursery, so you can always make the right choice. We have a very wide range in stock, especially in the spring, mainly from the well-known Sneeboer brand.

Sneeboer Garden Tools

We have been selling Sneeboer stainless steel tools for over twenty years. They are virtually unrivalled and are sold all over the world. The hand tools, such as planting trowels, weeders, forks and scrapers, are particularly outstanding, but there is also a wide range of spades, rakes, hoes and similar tools.

HOMI Korean Hand Shovel

We once bought this tool at the Dixter Plant Fair in England and were immediately delighted with it. Rarely have we worked with such a handy scraper. It fits perfectly in the hand. Not only is it great for scraping (cutting weeds by hand), but you can also use it to make seed furrows and planting holes and even 'plough' the soil shallowly. The latter is what it has been used for in rice fields in Korea for centuries. It is not made of stainless steel, like the Sneeboer tool, but this can also have advantages. It is a little easier to sharpen. Clean it after use and store it in a dry place. We now finally have them for sale at a very reasonable price.

Chikamasa Pruning and Cutting Shears

The Japanese Chikamasa pruning and cutting shears are made from high-quality materials. They are much more convenient for use with perennials and light woody plants than the often heavy pruning shears, which are also much more expensive. We have been using them ourselves for years. We have six models:
