Popular Kew Gardens Products

The Kew Gardens hand trowel collection encompasses various specialist designs to suit different gardening applications. Traditional border trowels feature wide, slightly curved blades ideal for general planting and bedding out, whilst narrow transplanting trowels excel at working in confined spaces between established plants. Potting trowels with deeper scoops make short work of container gardening, and precision trowels offer the control needed for alpine gardens and detailed work. Many models feature comfortable hardwood or soft-grip handles with convenient hanging holes for organised tool storage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Kew Gardens hand trowels suitable for heavy clay soil?

Yes, Kew Gardens trowels are built with robust construction specifically designed to handle challenging British soil types, including heavy clay. Look for models with reinforced shafts and strong blade-to-handle joints for the most demanding conditions.

How should I maintain my Kew Gardens trowel?

Clean soil from the blade after each use, dry thoroughly to prevent rust, and occasionally oil both the blade and wooden handles. Store in a dry location, and your Kew Gardens trowel will provide many years of reliable service.

What's the difference between stainless steel and carbon steel trowels?

Stainless steel offers superior rust resistance and requires less maintenance, making it ideal for general gardening. Carbon steel can achieve a sharper edge and is traditionally favoured for penetrating harder ground, though it requires more care to prevent corrosion.
