Kew Gardens FAQs

Is Kew Gardens suitable for professional use?

Yes, absolutely. Kew Gardens tools are designed with input from professional horticulturists and used daily by the gardening teams at Kew Gardens itself. The robust construction, quality materials, ergonomic designs, and long warranties make them perfectly suited to professionals including landscape gardeners, groundskeepers, and horticulturists who rely on their tools for daily work.

What's the difference between carbon steel and stainless steel Kew Gardens tools?

Carbon steel tools offer superior strength and edge retention, preferred by many professionals, but require occasional maintenance to prevent rust. Stainless steel tools resist corrosion naturally, making them ideal for damp conditions and low-maintenance use, particularly when working with acidic soils. Both materials are highly durable—the choice depends on your maintenance preferences and working conditions.

What warranty do Kew Gardens tools come with?

Many hand tools in the Kew Gardens range are supplied with a generous 10-year warranty covering manufacturing defects, demonstrating genuine confidence in their durability and construction quality. Warranty terms may vary across different product types, so check individual product specifications at MyToolShed.co.uk for specific details.
