The Graduate / Ladies Spades and Forks

Because our stainless steel digging and border spades and forks are so much taller than standard and the Apprentice shorter, we have introduced an intermediate height of tool which we term ‘Graduate’.

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, we have scaled the tools 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 sizes - so do Joseph Bentley Garden Tools!

The range proposition is illustrated perfectly in participating Garden Centres by a ‘Try before you buy’ merchandiser. This gives you the opportunity to compare and contrast the weight, balance and feel of our tools before making your choice. Not all tools, or tool producers are the same!
