Exquisitely designed by the leading cook, kitchen and homeware designer, this Sophie Conran Dibber is a beautiful yet practical addition to your gardening stock and makes an ideal gift for the gardener in your life.

Manufactured from FSC beech wood with solid brass ferrules and a mirror polished stainless steel body, it's hardly surprising that the dibber carries a five year guarantee and will cope with making holes for planting seeds, bulbs and seedlings even in grass or harder soils. Maintenance is simple; the Sophie Conran dibber requires a quick wipe after use to keep it in perfect condition but it's the finishing touches which really sets this dibber apart from garden rivals - it's supplied in the finest quality hinged lid presentation box with a magnetic closure, making it a perfect gift.

Ideally proportioned at 29cm long by 7cm wide and 5cm deep, the Sophie Conran dibber is just made for the female gardener!

The Sophie Conran Potting Sieve is a small but perfectly formed addition to the famous home and garden designer's range of garden tools and equipment and will sieve soil gently over seeds post-planting.

Here's what Sophie herself had to say about the potting sieve; "I believe in having the right tools for the job. That’s why I have designed this little potting sieve. It is just the right size for sprinkling fine compost over my seeds (and not all over my potting bench), giving them the best start."

The handle of this attractive pot-sized sieve is made from waxed FSC beech wood; there's a brass ferrule keeping everything in place and the 10cm diameter sieving head, complete with 5cm wide apertures, ensures an even spread of fine compost. As with the Sophie Conran dibber, the 24.5cm long potting sieve is beautifully presented in the finest quality, hinged lid presentation box complete with magnetic closure and comes complete with a 5 year guarantee.

The Sophie Conran Compost Scoop is one of those rare garden tools which manages to blend style with performance and you can say goodbye to clearing up mess after greenhouse potting sessions with this FSC beechwood handled mirror polished stainless steel scoop.

All the quality gardening tools in the Sophie Conran range make wonderful gift ideas and we're expecting this 28cm long by 7cm wide compost scoop to slip off our shelves just as easily as compost from the scoop, straight into your pots and not over the floor. You'll be able to make the most of valuable home made compost and leaf mould and with solid brass ferrules keeping the stainless steel, wipe clean scoop head firmly in place, your only problem will be parting with the presentation boxed compost scoop!

The Green Start Coir Pot Set is the epitome of recycling and if you're at all interested in the welfare of the planet (along with the success of your seedlings and young plants) then these coir pots are the place to start.

Manufactured to provide ethically based employment to people in Sri Lanka, the coir is a waste product from coconut processing and will only be with you for a short while before the 12 green start root runner tapered pots and 6 round pots (4cm diameter) break down and return to the soil!

And it's not only pots you get in your Green Start Coir Pot Set; the kit also contains coir discs so you won't need compost and carrying/seed sowing trays, made out of - you've guessed it - coir! All the pots will slowly biodegrade in the soil after a few weeks (adding invaluable organic matter to the soil from which they came from) and as a result, are ideal for starting off seedlings which don't like having their roots disturbed and for avoiding transplant shock.

Roots of plants are 'air pruned' as they push their way through the coir pots, leading to a strong and well-developed root system and with the tapered pots proving tailor-made for tap rooted seedlings (beans and peas for example), the Green Start Coir Pots represent recycling in its purest form and will make a big impression in the short time they are with you!

Every potting shed or greenhouse, whether it be on the allotment, in the vegetable plot or tucked away in a corner of the garden, needs a good quality, user-friendly potting bench to sow, pot, propagate and plant up on, as well as storing all those easy to mislay potting shed essentials - and the Indoor Potting Bench ticks all those gardening boxes! The 100cm L x 45cm W sturdy bench looks the part too with its distressed finish and the 92cm high zinc work surface, complete with sunken compost holding area, provides a very comfortable working height. The bench is made from sustainable timber and features a sliding drawer - ideal for labels, packets of seed and small potting tools - along with a lower storage self for larger potting shed gear such as watering cans, seed trays and fertiliser.

Unfortunately the Indoor Potting Bench is unavailable until Mid May

Vermiculite has been used by plantsmen, propagators, growers and gardeners for decades and our standard Vermiculite and Fine Grade Vermiculite will allow you to improve your seed sowing germination rates and give your seed and potting compost mixes the edge.

Supplied in easily manageable re-sealable bags, both grades of vermiculite - a naturally occuring non-toxic mineral - will benefit seeds and seedlings; the standard is ideal for mixing with seed sowing and potting composts where it absorbs nutrients and moisture before releasing them near the rootzone, whilst the fine grade is perfectly suited for raising and covering smaller seeds where damaging soil temperature fluctuations are kept to minimum. Simply mix the vermiculite with potting compost, use exclusively as a seed sowing medium or cover your seeds after sowing and just watch the results!
