If you only own one trowel, make it this one. Burgon & Ball's RHS-endorsed stainless hand trowel has a wide, deep dish that carries a generous scoop of soil or potting mix, and a polished stainless steel finish that resists rust and wipes clean in seconds.

The neck is precision-forged to an ergonomic angle, the handle is FSC-certified hardwood, and a leather cord lets you hang it neatly in the shed. It's backed by a lifetime guarantee — quite possibly the last trowel you'll ever need to buy.

• Stainless steel head, FSC-certified hardwood handle
