Now that spring is in the air, and our green spaces are becoming ever more beautiful on a daily basis, as they awakening from a winter of hibernation, awash with narcissus, bursting blossom & much loved magnolia, horticulurists up and down the country eagerly don their gloves and grab their trusted tools to embark on a new season of growth. Irrespective of whether you have acres to tend to, a small courtyard or just a handful of window boxes, from borders to balconies, gardening pros and amateurs alike know there's no better ally than a Felco tool. Celebrated for their durability, precision engineering, and ergonomic design, a Felco tool will empower gardeners to tackle spring tasks with efficiency and ease.

Spring pruning sets the stage for healthy growth for the year. With a pair of Felco Classic Secateurs at your side, you’ll make light work of effortlessly trimming away dead or damaged branches, encouraging new shoots to emerge. These high-performance secateurs with hardened steel blades are ideal for everyday, considered and intensive pruning, and the purposefully shaped blades are ideal for reaching awkward spaces.  With great ergonomics, the handles have a special non-slip coating to prevent slips as you snip.  Whether shaping shrubs, deadheading flowers, or rejuvenating fruit trees, a pair of Felco secateurs will prove an invaluable choice in the garden providing clean, precise cuts every time.

A thriving garden begins with nutrient-rich soil. Getting your soil right is the simplest and most effective thing you can do to make a difference to your garden. A Felco cultivator and trowel are indispensable for loosening compacted soil, aerating beds, and incorporating compost or mulch. By enhancing soil structure and fertility, you create an ideal environment for your spring seeds to germinate and plants to flourish, all while minimising strain on your wrists and hands with Felco's ergonomic handles.

Spring heralds the emergence of not only desired plants but also pesky weeds. Combat these intruders efficiently with a Felco weeder. Designed for precision and comfort, this tool allows you to extract weeds at their roots, preventing regrowth and competition for vital resources. Tackling this task with a little-and-often approach and your Felco in hand, will help you say goodbye to backaches and hello to a weed-free paradise!

Following the winter frosts, a Felco Hori Hori  will make light work of preparation for sowing seeds and planting bulbs.  This exceptional tool with its sharp, narrow blade, the Hori Hori will effortlessly slice through soil, creating neat furrows for seed placement and bulb insertion. Its concave shape allows for precise control, ensuring seeds are sown at the correct depth for optimal germination, while also facilitating the gentle handling of delicate bulbs. The Hori Hori's robust forged boron steel construction and ergonomic ash wood handle provide comfort and stability, minimising strain and fatigue during extended planting sessions. Whether sowing a row of broad beans, or early salad seeds into the kitchen garden or tucking allium bulbs into the earth, the Felco Hori Hori proves to be an indispensable companion, streamlining the planting process this spring.

As plants begin to reach for the late spring sun, providing adequate support becomes paramount.
