Great Dixter Planting Spade | Sneeboer
🚚 Free UK shipping on orders over £50 🪴
This Sneeboer Great Dixter Planting Spade was designed to the exact specifications of Fergus Garrett, head gardener at Great Dixter. Compact yet remarkably powerful, it is ideal for planting, transplanting and dividing perennials where a full-sized spade would be too large or cumbersome.
The short ash wood handle is designed for comfortable two-handed use, allowing you to apply greater digging force while maintaining excellent control. Combined with the generously sized stainless steel blade, it makes digging planting holes, lifting established plants and dividing perennials effortless.
Despite measuring just 56cm in length, this planting spade delivers the performance of a much larger tool. Its compact size makes it perfect for working in densely planted borders, raised beds and other confined spaces where precision is essential.
This planting spade forms part of Sneeboer's Great Dixter collection. Sneeboer is the only garden tool manufacturer in the world licensed to produce tools bearing the Great Dixter name, creating a unique collection inspired by one of Britain's most celebrated gardens.
Hand forged in the Netherlands from premium stainless steel and finished with a durable ash wood handle, this beautifully balanced planting spade is made to provide decades of reliable service.
