The Floral Society Garden Kit

Boron steel is exceptionally strong and wear-resistant, allowing the blade to be thinner and lighter without sacrificing durability. It holds a sharp edge well, making it easier to slice through compacted soil or roots compared to standard stainless steel.

Yes, the gloves can be machine washed on a gentle cycle. We recommend air drying them to preserve the integrity of the rubber palm coating and the nylon liner.

To keep the wood from drying out or cracking, wipe the handle clean after use and occasionally rub it with a light coat of linseed oil. Storing the tool in the provided canvas pouch in a dry place will also help protect the handle from moisture damage.

Because the trowel is hand-forged from tempered boron steel, it is robust enough to handle heavy clay and rocky soil better than stamped metal alternatives. However, as with any hand tool, avoid using it as a lever to pry up large rocks, which can put undue stress on the handle connection.

The pouch is designed specifically to keep this set organized and portable. While it fits the trowel and gloves perfectly, it is compact and does not have significant extra capacity for additional large tools.
