The Sophie Conran for Burgon and Ball Long Thin Trowel is a beautiful example of functional design and British craftsmanship. With its slender shape and perfectly balanced feel, it brings precision and comfort to even the smallest gardening tasks.
Sophie Conran, from the well known Conran family of designers, is celebrated for her contemporary country style that blends practicality with elegance. This trowel reflects that philosophy perfectly. The narrow head allows you to reach tight spots and dig with accuracy, making it ideal for planting bulbs, placing seedlings, and tackling deep rooted weeds.
Crafted from mirror polished stainless steel, the head glides effortlessly through the soil, reducing friction and minimising effort. The stainless steel construction resists rust and staining, ensuring it stays as beautiful as the day you first use it. The slim profile is perfect for working in crowded borders or between closely planted rows, where a traditional trowel would be too wide.
The handle is made from sustainably sourced FSC beechwood, carefully shaped to fit comfortably in the hand. Its smooth waxed finish feels warm and secure, providing excellent grip even during long periods of work. A solid brass ferrule connects the handle and blade, adding strength and a subtle touch of luxury that reflects the high standards of Burgon and Ball’s toolmaking heritage.
Lightweight yet strong, this trowel is a pleasure to use whether you are planting sweet peas, removing tap rooted weeds, or loosening soil in narrow beds. Every curve, material, and finish has been designed with purpose, resulting in a tool that feels natural in the hand and elegant to look at.
Presented in a beautiful recyclable gift box, the Sophie Conran Long Thin Trowel makes a wonderful gift for gardeners who appreciate both beauty and practicality. It is covered by a ten year guarantee against manufacturing defects, giving complete confidence in its enduring quality.
For precision, comfort, and quiet sophistication, this trowel is an indispensable companion for any gardener who values thoughtful design.
