Gertrude Jekyll was THE Edwardian garden designer and she teamed up with a very fashionable architect called Edward Lutyens. They worked on numerous projects together.

• Seed sowing, and subsequently pricking out, are traditional greenhouse tasks, but trying to carefully place tiny vegetable and flower seeds, such as lobelia and begonia, can be both fiddly and frustrating
• The 11cm long Pro-Seeder makes sowing seeds of all sizes much more enjoyable – and quicker – by way of the comfortable palm-sized air bulb and interchangeable sowing needles, colour-coded to aid easy selection
• Operation is simple; attach the correct needle, squeeze the bulb with your thumb and release to pick up a single seed, and depress once more to plant
• Don’t worry about losing the needles in your greenhouse – they’re stored, along with two cleaning wires - in a compartment at the base of the 5cm H seeder

What The Experts Say...

"Take the stress out of sowing fine seeds with this clever, palm-sized gadget. It uses suction to let you pick up and release seeds to sow them exactly where you want them."
50 Gifts for Gardeners - Gardener's World magazine, December 2008

"If you have difficulty sowing seeds this gadget may be for you. It has a bulbous end which you squeeze to suck a seed to the end of the tip. The kit comes with three tip sizes to pick up seeds of different sizes. It takes a little practice to use but once you have mastered it you can pick up really small seeds and deposit them exactly where you want."
