Old Dutch Planting Trowel | Sneeboer
🚚 Free UK shipping on orders over £50 🪴
This Sneeboer Old Dutch Planting Trowel is a beautifully hand-forged garden tool based on a traditional Dutch design that has been trusted by gardeners for over a century.
Featuring a wide stainless steel blade sharpened on both sides, this trowel is designed to cut cleanly into the soil and create precise planting holes for bulbs, bedding plants and perennials. The weight of the blade helps it penetrate the ground efficiently, making planting quicker, easier and more comfortable.
This version features the standard 14cm ash wood handle and measures 31cm overall. If you prefer additional reach, we also stock the Old Dutch Planting Trowel with 27cm long handle.
Hand forged in the Netherlands from premium stainless steel and finished with a durable ash wood handle, this is a truly special planting trowel made for gardeners who appreciate quality, craftsmanship and tools that feel beautiful to use. The design is widely used in the Netherlands, including at Keukenhof where millions of spring bulbs are planted each year.
