TOOLS BY SOPHIE CONRAN

Interior designer, cook, author and gardener Sophie Conran, daughter of Sir Terence Conran, has turned her inimitable taste and skill to gardening.

She has developed a stunning set of tools and gift sets in partnershi­p with Burgon and Ball, the U.K.’s oldest garden tool manufac- turer (est. Sheffield 1730).

Pictured above are the potting sieve, compost scoop, hand trowel and secateurs. Features include polished stainless steel that will not rust, solid brass ferules and waxed beechwood handles that not only look beautiful but over time will slowly mould to your hand.
