Garden Snips

We all need a good pair of snips, ones that can live in pockets without doing any harm, and wander round the garden with us for those unplanned moments – and these ones are great. Handy to have a couple of pairs really, as they are absolutely brilliant for flowers, fruit and veg, but arent nearly as tough as secateurs, obviously, and are for green growth only, not woody pruning. Slender blades get right in for careful snipping, red white handles show up when you (almost inevitably) leave them lying around somewhere.

Keep them clean, with a Clean Mate ideally, or an old washing up sponge if youre desperate.

Slender little blades get you in – and out – of tight spots.

After each use dry clean andwipe over with Camellia oilto protect against rust.
