"With holidays just around the corner, you might
be wondering how to combine gardening and children without
subjecting yourself to a lot of moaning. I certainly remeber the
difficulty of wielding a adults pade in our clay soil and am
resonably sure i'd have moaned less and enjoyed it more with my own
tools. Harrod Horticultural supplies everything child-sized, from
gloves to lightweight, height adjustable tools and the high quality
Joseph Bentley range."
Kitchen Garden Magazine, July

Traditionally most children’s garden tools had been just
toys, plastic tools which were more suitable for use in sandpits
than serious digging and planting. Recognising that children
especially older children – want tools that actually do a
job, that are ‘real’ tools, companies such as Joseph
Bentley set out to create a suitable range... The Gardener’s
Apprentice range includes the basic tools required, using wood and
metal in a conventional design but available in a range of sizes to
match different heights.

My children really appreciated the strong wood-and-metal tools I
bought them a couple of years ago and there is a great range of
Joseph Bentley tools available at Harrod
Horticultural.

I felt that the entire range was lovely - almost too
good for the age of the children for whom it is intended (7
).
