Old Dutch Planting Trowel with 27cm Long Handle | Sneeboer
🚚 Free UK shipping on orders over £50 🪴
This Sneeboer Old Dutch Planting Trowel with 27cm long handle 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, seedlings, small plants and perennials. The weight of the blade helps it penetrate the ground efficiently, making planting quicker, easier and more comfortable.
The longer 27cm ash wood handle offers additional reach and leverage while still remaining compact enough for close, controlled planting work. If you prefer a shorter handle, we also stock the Old Dutch Planting Trowel with 14cm handle.
Hand forged in the Netherlands from premium stainless steel and finished with a smooth ash wood handle, this is a truly special planting trowel made for gardeners who appreciate quality, craftsmanship and tools that feel beautiful to use. Similar Sneeboer planting trowels are used at Keukenhof, where millions of spring bulbs are planted each year.
