The kew gardens carbon steel border fork is a compact garden fork designed for working in tight spaces, borders and between established plants. Developed through collaboration between spear jackson and the royal botanic gardens at kew, this professional quality tool combines horticultural expertise with over two centuries of british manufacturing heritage. Part of the renowned neverbend range, this border fork features a solid forged carbon steel head that delivers exceptional strength and longevity. The carbon steel construction provides at least 50% greater strength compared to stainless steel alternatives, whilst the hammer finished epoxy coating offers enhanced protection against rust, humidity and alkalis present in soil. The smaller head dimensions make this fork particularly suitable for precise cultivation work where manoeuvrability is essential. The 760mm shaft length and longer socket design reduce the need for bending during use, helping to minimise back strain during extended gardening tasks. The fsc certified ash handle features a weatherproofed yd shaped split design for improved grip and durability, ensuring reliable performance throughout the seasons. Ideal for professional horticulturists, landscapers and keen gardeners who require a dependable tool for border maintenance and cultivation work.
