Planting Trowel Old Dutch Style

Planting Trowel Old Dutch Style

The Planting Trowel Old Dutch Style carries more than a hundred years of horticultural heritage in every hand-forged blade. Rooted in early 20th-century Dutch design and refined by Sneeboer’s generations of craftsmanship, this trowel is the go-to tool for planting bulbs, seedlings, and small plants with remarkable speed and confidence. It’s no coincidence that gardeners at the world-famous Keukenhof Exhibition rely on it season after season to create millions of perfect planting holes — and that celebrated English TV gardener Monty Don counts it among his all-time favorites.

Hand-Forged Stainless Steel Trowel for Bulb Planting

The secret is in the balance. The weight is deliberately concentrated in the blade, so gravity does the heavy lifting for you. Simply position the blade, press down, wiggle gently, and withdraw — leaving behind a clean, perfectly shaped planting hole every time. Double-sided sharpening also lets you break and turn compacted soil with ease, making this far more versatile than a standard trowel.
