People often ask, ‘what is Monty Don’s Trowel?’

We’re quite often asked what is Monty Dons’ favourite trowel? As many gardeners have seen him using the distinctive trowel on the BBC Gardener’s World TV programme.
The Sneeboer Planting Trowel Old Dutch Style – 27cm Ash handle is now widely known as the Monty Don Trowel, and it’s become firm favourite with gardeners and our customers are no exception.
It comes with all the quality, performance and longevity you would expect from a Sneeboer tool and so far it’s one of our highest and most rated and raved about products in our reviews!
This popular Sneeboer Trowel has sharp sides and a pointed end allowing you to cut easily through the soil for all your planting and gardening needs. Use it for planting bulbs, seedlings and small plants or use the large head for breaking and turning the soil. The trowel can even be used to separate smaller perennials.
The forged stainless steel head will stay sharp and like all Sneeboer tools provide you with a lifetime of service. We have several versions including now a limited edition which is exclusive to Creeper & Knotweed.
Do please remember only this is the genuine (Monty Don) trowel as made by Sneeboer, sadly we have seen cheap and inferior imitations out there.
