Traditional Joseph Bently ladies spade (graduate Spade)

Traditional Joseph Bently ladies spade (graduate Spade) £24.99
English Garden Magazine – February 2008 Helen Yemm Selected this as her favourite small spade at 90cm long (2′ 11 inches), she said it would make ‘a great little border spade’. A great light and easy to use spade. Traditionally, in less politically correct times, these would have been termed ‘Ladies’ spades and forks. They are perfect for those gardener’s of restricted height or strength and for more generalised use in raised beds or congested flower beds and borders. Rather than simply reduce the height of the wooden shaft, It has been scaled down in every dimension, to ensure the perfect combination of strength and balance. When you try one out, you really can tell the difference! After all, gardeners come in many shapes and sizes. The traditional range of garden tools has been inspired by the look, feel and quality of the tools offered in the early 1900’s. They are well crafted, manufactured with FSC ash and stainless steel.
