Summer is the perfect season to get out into the fresh air, and Wilkinson Sword understands exactly what gardeners need to keep their outdoor spaces healthy and flourishing during the warm, sunny months. Pruning, trimming hedges, and digging are all important summer tasks, and with Wilkinson Sword’s high-quality garden tools and Town & Country’s accessories, it’s easy to take care of all the essential gardening tasks and achieve a beautiful and well-maintained outdoor space.
For those planning to spend more time in the garden in the coming months, consider planting some vibrant flowers to create an instant colourful impact. The Wilkinson Sword Long Handled Trowel is a useful tool for planting and bedding flowers, as its longer handle provides extra reach. The tool head is made from rust-resistant stainless steel, and it comes with a leather hanging strap for easy storage.
Made from natural neoprene, Town & Country’s Buckingham Shoes are the secret to warm, snug feet whilst pottering around outdoors. Soft and comfortable, these shoes are a blessing for those who find long boots difficult to pull on and off. Their ribbed tread ensures a secure grip even on slippery surfaces, while the cushioned insole adds an extra layer of comfort. They can be slipped on and off effortlessly, making them perfect for popping in and out the house or walks during wetter spells.
Pruning is an essential summer gardening task to maintain the health of plants and promote stronger regrowth. The Wilkinson Sword Classic Bypass Pruners are the perfect tool for the job. Ideal for trimming young, green stems, the tool has sprung steel handles to provide a more powerful cutting action and better cutting angle for stems up to 22mm thick. With these pruners, keep plants well-maintained and healthy throughout the season.
Town & Country’s Mastergrip Patterns Gloves are ideal for any green-fingered enthusiast and protecting hands from general gardening tasks. The gloves feature a latex coating that not only protects against wet weather but also ensures dexterity and sensitivity, essential for intricate gardening tasks. The soft lining boasts a pretty pattern that adds a touch of glamour to any garden activity. Whether it's planting delicate flowers, tending to herbs, or handling other fragile tasks in the garden, these gloves provide the perfect balance of protection and elegance.
It is important to trim hedges and shrubs regularly to maintain a healthy summer garden. The Wilkinson Sword Ultralight Hedge Shears are perfect for this task because they are 30% lighter than standard shears and come with a 20cm non-stick blade that delivers a smooth and clean cut. These shears are ideal for trimming box hedges and topiary, and they help to keep plants looking neat and tidy while promoting stronger regrowth.
For a powerful tool to maintain a crisp lawn edge, the Wilkinson Sword Carbon Steel Edging Knife is ideal. Manufactured using high quality carbon steel, and strengthened in key areas, it is secured with a solid wood shaft. Crafted with strong carbon steel, the half-moon blade effortlessly slices through turf to leave a neat edge where your lawn meets borders, paths, and patios. The comfortable T-handle provides excellent control, making precision edging a breeze.
Effortlessly manage piles of lawn cuttings, weeds, or garden waste with Town & Country’s Garden Tidy Bags. These bags simplify the task of clearing garden areas and borders from clutter and debris. They are available in two sizes - 182l or 67l - and are designed to be lightweight, waterproof, and highly portable. When not in use, the bag conveniently folds down flat, allowing for easy storage and saving space. These durable and practical bags offer a hassle-free solution to maintaining a tidy outdoor space, whether you're tackling a large cleanup or a smaller tidy-up job.
