Daily details from the garden to bring you inspiration throughout the year
A kind friend sent me some snips this week. And not just any snips, fancy schmancy, Japanese if you please snips, from the awfully nice people at Niwaki. They are smaller than my standard hand shears and fit perfectly in that spot between long-nosed snip and secateur and – more to the point – they make that glorious shwooping noise as the blades pass over one another upon squeezing closed the handles. I find it’s with secateurs, rather than spade, that I interact most intimately with the garden, and I think these have just become my favourite gardening tool. As far as presents for gardeners go, you can’t get much better than that.
