Dyg: the place to buy professional quality gardening tools

"Whatever you do, don't give a gift of something that doesn't work properly, such as cheap bendy tools or hopelessly soft copper labels. It will just be an annoyance and every time the person looks at it, they will think of you. " Helen Rock, Sunday Tribune, 2005, December 4th 2005

The tools that we sell are the tools that we use, and are in a different league from the tools available in most garden centres. Many of them are exclusive to dyg in Ireland, and in their entirety they make up the finest collection of professional quality gardening available.

These are tools that last a lifetime and are a pleasure to use. They are the same tools that people who garden for a livig use, and are often made in very long-established factories. Cutting tools such as secateurs and loppers from Felco are used around the world, and are made in Switzerland. Yes - they cost more than their many imitations, but they out-perform and out-last them many times over. Our red trowels from Berger are low-tech, good honest design that wont bend or snap when you plant your first bulb, and the spade that we sell is hand-forged steel made in the north of England to a classic Irish design. It may not be glamorous, but if you're digging in your garden you just want something that does the job without giving up the ghost half way through. We also sell the supremely stylish, classic watering cans made by Haws in England. These metal watering cans look good and work properly, with nice balance and good reach.
