Elegant, practical, and beautifully made, the Sophie Conran for Burgon and Ball Hand Rake is a tool that brings joy to everyday gardening. Designed in collaboration with Sophie Conran, part of the renowned Conran design family, this hand rake reflects her signature country house style — graceful, functional, and made to last.
Crafted with precision, the rake’s mirror polished stainless steel head is rust resistant and designed to retain its shine through years of use. The head features seven fine, flexible tines that are curled at the ends to prevent damage to delicate new growth. This thoughtful design allows you to rake efficiently around young shoots and between densely planted borders without causing harm.
Rather than piercing through debris, the rake glides gently beneath leaves, gathering them effortlessly. This reduces the need to pick leaves off the tines by hand and makes tidying garden beds or containers smoother and faster. It is perfectly sized for clearing smaller spaces such as flower beds, patio pots, or around established plants, where control and precision matter most.
The handle is crafted from sustainably sourced FSC beechwood with a smooth waxed finish that feels natural and warm in the hand. Its rounded shape offers a comfortable grip and the ideal balance for extended use. The handle is securely fitted to the head with a brass ferrule, a hallmark of Burgon and Ball quality that provides strength, durability, and timeless elegance.
Every detail of this rake speaks to the craftsmanship and design excellence that define both Sophie Conran and Burgon and Ball. It is not only a joy to use but also a beautiful object in its own right.
Presented in an elegant recyclable gift box, the rake makes a thoughtful present for gardeners who appreciate both function and form. Backed by a ten year guarantee against manufacturing defects, it is built to serve season after season while looking as stylish as the day it was made.
