Helen Yemm Selected this as her favorite 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 size.
