Great Dixter Trowel

Great Dixter Trowel

The Great Dixter Trowel is a hand-forged masterpiece born from one of gardening’s most celebrated partnerships. Designed in collaboration with the legendary British plantsman Christopher Lloyd of the Great Dixter estate, this narrow-bladed trowel slips cleanly through heavy clay and compacted soil where wider tools simply struggle. Hand-forged in the Netherlands by Sneeboer — a family workshop with over a century of expertise — it carries the kind of craftsmanship that outlasts seasons and trends alike.

A Hand-Forged Trowel Built for Deep-Rooted Planting

The slim, tapered blade was purpose-built for planting sweet peas, seedling plugs, and other long-rooted plants that demand a narrow, deep hole. Rather than disturbing surrounding soil, it enters cleanly and exits cleanly — protecting fragile root systems and saving you time on every pass through the border.
