RHS Asteraceae Planting Trowel and Dibber Gift Box

The planting trowel and the dibber both carry endorsement from the Royal Horticultural Society, possibly the highest accolade in gardening. Both hand tools have a uniquely-colored painted FSC© hardwood handle to complement the Asteraceae design, and the trowel head is etched with a delicate butterfly illustration.

The tools have been created to be perfect partners at planting time. The heart-shaped trowel is ideal for shallow digging and scooping, with a short wide head to move soil quickly and easily. The dibber offers a fast and simple way to plant seeds, bulbs and seedlings, even in grass or harder ground.

You can be certain of the quality of these tools, and they carry our lifetime guarantee. The pretty pull-out gift box is plastic-free and easily recyclable, using engineered cardboard to hold the tools securely in place.

A beautiful new collection in the RHS Gifts for Gardeners series, the ‘Asteraceae’ design showcases blooms from the daisy family. These resilient flowers have a starring role to play in our gardens as summers last longer and autumns become warmer. They keep the colour going in a longer season, and also offer an important source of forage for pollinators when other flowers fade.

The elegant new design has been created by Burgon & Ball featuring illustrations dating illustrations dating from circa 1810, specially selected from the RHS Lindley Collections of historic botanical art. A soft sage green background is the perfect foil for the jewel-bright colours of the China aster and coreopsis.
