The Great Dixter planting spade has a V-shape in the length of the blade, making it more suited to digging holes and scooping up material compared to the regular perennial spade. The short size of the planting spade, measuring 54 cm overall, makes it the perfect tool to work with precision in a kneeled position.
The planting spade, a smaller version of the Sneeboer pointed spade, is equally suited to dividing shrubs, lifting bulbs, digging planting holes and working in areas where a full size spade would be too cumbersome. The Great Dixter planting spade is fitted with a 42cm ash T-handle.
The Great Dixter planting spade is designed to the exact specifications of Fergus Garrett, head gardener at the Great Dixter. This planting spade is one of a special collection of tools that Sneeboer is allowed to sell under the “Great Dixter” pedigree and name. Sneeboer is also the only manufacturer in the entire world that is allowed to produce some tools under this name.
For every Great Dixter tool sold, Sneeboer donate part of the proceeds to the Great Dixter Charitable Trust to contribute in this way to the preservation of an English cultural heritage.
