I never thought I'd find myself thinking about what features make a trowel a scoop, or a scoop a trowel ....

Introduced at the 2025 Chelsea Flower show this Garden Scoop is a new product for Sneeboer.  They've spent time, and multiple prototypes, working out the right volume of soil for this scoop to move.

It's designed to be used when filling pots with compost, precision placement of mulch around plants in a border or for moving things like grit and small gravel.

They've incorporated a short serrated section on both sides of the blade tip.  This means it can be used to open compost bags, as well as moving the contents.

Overall length is 31cm, with a 17cm blade (11cm wide) and weighs 250grams

Hand forged by Sneeboer in the Netherlands, who have been making and developing garden tools since 1913.  Now in the hands of 4th generation family members, Sneeboer use stainless steel to craft the ultimate tools for gardeners.  Their tools are the anthesis of the cheap trow away culture.  Built to last a lifetime and to be maintain in order to continue to perform like new.

As this item is hand forged please expect to see some hammer marks and black coke marks on the surface.  These add to the unique character of each tool and do not affect the durability or quality of the tool in anyway.

The handle is made from Cherry and replacements are available if ever needed.
