The Sophie Conran for Burgon and Ball Dibber combines classic craftsmanship with elegant design. It is one of those tools that feels special from the moment you pick it up, perfectly weighted, beautifully finished and made for real gardeners.
Designed by Sophie Conran, part of Britain’s celebrated Conran design family, this tool reflects her signature country house style that balances beauty and practicality. The slender point of the dibber creates precise planting holes for seeds, bulbs and seedlings, even in firmer or grassy soils. To use, simply press the point into the ground to the desired depth, twist gently to widen the hole if needed, and place in your plant or seed before covering with soil. It is a simple and satisfying process that makes planting faster, cleaner and more enjoyable.
The mirror polished stainless steel head glides easily through soil with very little resistance. The finish helps prevent soil from sticking and provides natural protection against rust, keeping the surface bright and smooth for years. The shape of the head gives excellent control, allowing you to plant with accuracy and minimal disturbance to surrounding soil.
The handle is made from sustainably sourced FSC beechwood, carefully shaped and waxed for a smooth, comfortable grip. It fits naturally into the hand, giving both control and comfort even during longer planting sessions. A solid brass ferrule connects the handle and the steel shaft securely, adding strength and a touch of timeless style.
This is a tool that feels luxurious yet practical, designed for gardeners who appreciate both form and function. It is lightweight, well balanced and built to last. The engraved Sophie Conran for Burgon and Ball maker’s mark is a subtle detail that reflects the care and craftsmanship behind every piece.
Presented in a beautiful recyclable gift box, this dibber makes a thoughtful present for any gardener or a worthwhile addition to your own collection. Backed by a ten year guarantee against manufacturing defects, it is made to give lasting service and satisfaction.
Simple, elegant and effective, the Sophie Conran Dibber turns planting into a small daily pleasure.
