Greener Garden Choices!

Garden tools aren’t often mentioned in the same sentence as fast fashion, but the same principles apply.

Buy cheap, and you will soon have to buy again, adding to the planet’s landfill.

If you don’t have the budget for high quality, look instead for second hand.

And if your shed or garage is cluttered with garden tools you never use, don’t leave them to languish.

Maybe you now find some of your tools too heavy, too lightweight or too specialist for your current needs.

Maybe you’ve been lucky enough to upgrade to higher quality or you’ve ended up with duplicates.

Give them a new lease of life by donating them so someone else can make use of them.

Katie’s Garden is running a tool ‘swap shop’ throughout April at the Newbourne nursery, raising funds for Suffolk Wildlife Trust.
