Planting Trowel Old Dutch Style

Planting Trowel Old Dutch Style

The Planting Trowel Old Dutch Style carries a heritage rooted in early 20th-century Dutch horticulture—and it shows in every use. Hand-forged by Sneeboer craftsmen in the Netherlands with over a century of expertise, this trowel combines a beautifully balanced blade-heavy design with double-sided sharpening, letting you drive it into soil with minimal effort and withdraw it to reveal a clean, ready-made planting hole. It is the trowel of choice at the renowned Keukenhof gardens, where it creates holes for millions of bulbs each season, and a longtime favorite of celebrated English TV gardener Monty Don.

The Ideal Hand Trowel for Bulb Planting and Seedlings

Unlike general-purpose trowels, this tool is purpose-engineered for making precise planting holes. The forward-weighted blade sinks into the ground under its own momentum—simply insert, wiggle gently, and lift to reveal a perfect cavity for bulbs, seedlings, or small plants. The large head also breaks and turns compacted soil with ease, making it a surprisingly versatile companion through every planting season.

Hand-Forged Dutch Quality Built for Generations

• Hand-forged stainless steel blade — resists rust and holds a sharp edge season after season, so you spend more time gardening and less time maintaining.
• Double-sided sharpening — slices cleanly through soil for faster, more precise planting with less physical effort.
• Blade-forward balance — the weight does the work for you, reducing strain on your wrist and hand during repetitive planting tasks.
• Premium wood handle — crafted from ash or cherry wood for a comfortable, secure grip that ages beautifully with use.
• Made in the Netherlands — over 100 years of Sneeboer tradition and innovation in every hand-forged tool.
• Built for life and generations to come — a tool you plant with today, and pass down tomorrow.

If you are serious about your garden, the Planting Trowel Old Dutch Style is more than a hand tool—it is a long-term investment in craftsmanship that performs as beautifully as it looks.
