For a limited time, just until 16th June), we are offering a 20% discount on our ‘National Trust made by Burgon & Ball’ collection of garden tools.

Developed in collaboration with Europe's largest conservation charity, these tools have been made using traditional manufacturing techniques little used today. The steel is forged, a process which aligns the grain of the metal for improved strength; the spade and fork are solid socket designs, meaning the tines, head and socket are forged from a single piece of steel, with no welds.  

We’ve used manufacturing methods which celebrate traditional techniques, too. The steel is forged, a process which aligns the grain of the metal for improved strength; the spade and fork are solid socket designs, meaning the tines, head and socket are forged from a single piece of steel, with no welds.

We know father figures also love bit of innovation, and these tools tick that box, too. There’s a tough powder coating on the steel to protect from corrosion, and the hand tools have sharpened edges to bite into the soil, even in the most compacted ground. This range has been designed to make gardening gardening easier, while looking great. The dark wood handles and touches of solid brass evoke a feeling of yesteryear. 

What's more, these tools benefit the National Trust as well, with a percentage of revenue from sales supporting the charity's conservation activities.

 

There’s a ten year guarantee on all the tools in this collection, so you know you’re giving him a high quality gift which will be used and loved for years. Our insider tip, the secateurs and topiary shears come ready packaged in presentation boxes and would make great gifts. Unfortunately we’re unable to sell the pocket knife online.
