Character garden clock
How often have you lost track of time in the garden because you don’t wear a watch when up to your elbows in mud? this can be a thing of the past with this attractive, double-sided garden clock, beautifully crafted in a style reminiscent of Victorian times. Cast in a metal body, with a sturdy metal frame support, this easily-mounted clock is practical as well as ornamental. Needs 2 AA batteries. |

| Pruning knife
From Draper, this is a top-quality pruning and general cutting knife with reinforced nylon handle and stainless steel blade. closed size 104mm (4in approx). |

Flower shears
Here’s a secateur that’s nimble enough to cope with the most delicate of garden tasks. Incorporating stainless steel spring-loaded blades, these flower shears - like a cross between scissors and secateurs - are suitable for dead-heading, trimming and shaping. |

| Diamond tool sharpener
The retractable sharpening rod, housed in a strong, anodised aluminium case with pocket clip, has three sharpening surfaces - half round, flat and a grooved channel. Great for gardening (secateurs, shears, etc) and DIY (drill bits, chsels, knives, etc). Length extended 7in, sharpening rod length 2in. |
|
Opinel penknife
The shaped carbon steel blade is heat treated to more than 800 C, generously tempered, then skilfully fitted into a handle of six-month-old seasoned beech. Features a 3in (7cm) blade and a unique twist blade-locking mechanism. |

| Plant house
The new plant house offers year-round usage, perfect in the spring for raising plants from seed and cuttings and for growing on, but equally useful in the winter for protection against the elements. Made from long-lasting hardwood, it has twin-walled, shatterproof polycarbonate glazing, designed to be safe around the patio and diffuse sunlight. Features include large twin doors with steel latch, lid with various opening levels, adjustable and removable shelving. Large model: 110cm high, 76cm wide, 43cm deep, three shelves; standard model: 78cm high, 58cm wide, 43cm deep, two shelves. |
