It’s perfect for harvesting tasty treats from the kitchen garden; it’s just the right size for your fresh cherry tomatoes, strawberries or smaller Lebanese cucumbers.

Sophie's Small Harvesting Basket is equally ideal for carrying cut flowers, as the open weave allows any water to simply drain through.

The smooth Forest Security Certificate (FSC) certified beechwood handle is gently shaped to fit the hand, and the strong galvanized steel wire has a tough powder coating in this sumptuous buttermilk cream colour. A brass seal bearing the Sophie Conran for Burgon & Ball logo adds the finishing touch.

Fork in the road

Many of us discovered the fun of gardening as kids even if it was just making dirt volcanoes while Nonno planted the tomato seeds. For some of us, we've only relished in it since the recent lockdowns and slowdowns.  Apart from the physical benefits and all that prettiness, greenery and self-satisfaction, who knew gardening could be so meditative? Even more so with Sophie Conran's Gardening Hand Fork.

Sophie's fork is smaller and lighter than some garden hand forks, and offers excellent control and comfort in use. Combining designer flair with practicality, this hand fork makes weeding and cultivating so much easier so that you can get into your zen gardening place.

The mirror-polished stainless steel head is rust-resistant and will stay looking good for years to come. The three tines are shaped and sharpened to slide easily into the soil with minimum effort.

The waxed Forest Security Council (FSC) beechwood handle is smooth and fits snugly into the hand, while the brass ferrule ensures a secure connection between the tool head and handle. The etched Sophie Conran for Burgon & Ball maker’s mark adds a distinctive finishing touch.

Presented in a beautiful tissue paper-lined box, this hand fork makes a beautiful and thoughtful gift for any gardener.

Heart's Desire

The versatile heart-shaped trowel has been created to be ideal for planting. It’s extremely useful for shallower digging and scooping when planting bulbs, bedding, or plug plants. The wide head moves soil quickly and easily, and the pointed sharpened tip slices smoothly through ground. The ergonomic design gives the gardener more digging power, since the head is in line with handle, rather than angled. This trowel’s small size makes it especially ideal for container gardening.

The mirror-polished stainless steel of the tool head glides with minimal resistance through the soil. The stainless steel is rust-resistant and will keep rust at bay to stay looking bright and beautiful for years to come. The FSC® beech wooden handle is carefully shaped to fit satisfyingly into the gripped hand, and the turned ferrule in solid brass provides a secure and lasting connection between handle and body.

Presented in a stylish gift box, this unusual garden tool makes a lovely gift for any gardener – or, of course, a very practical treat for yourself!
