Description
'Sting in the Tail' has really come up trumps with this one!
This is a superbly practical gift for a gardener. All items are packed in a biodegradable tray that can be used for sowing and growing seeds, with a water based, non-toxic coating.
This Greenhouse Gift Tray contains a lovely assortment of useful Cotton Drill Gloves, Coir Root Runners, 20 g of Natural Twine, 10 cm Wooden Labels, a super Wooden Thermometer and Garden Snips made from high quality steel.
Sting supplies us with their Sustainability statement and they are approved by the Royal Horticultural Society.
Specifications
Timber will biodegrade if left outside.
All products from sustainable sources.
To keep your snips in good condition we recommend giving them an occasional wipe after use with a lightly oiled cloth.
Please note that Sting supplies these sets to us in a plastic wrapper to keep all the contents together. While we do not approve of the use of single use plastic and are making efforts to encourage all our suppliers to use eco alternatives such as corn starch wrapping, we have opted to keep the wrapping on for protection of the product.
For sustainable reuse of the plastic wrapper you may wish to look into ecobricks.org.
Story
Sting in the Tail has been designing and manufacturing products in the UK for 27 years. They are based in the English Lake District and assemble all their products in their headquarters on the edge of Morecambe Bay. They always endeavour to source and manufacture as many components and products in the UK as possible.
The design of many of the products reflects the heritage of our country with a modern twist. The products use tried and tested formulations that work and are not a gimmick! They recognise that packaging has a very short life before ending up in the bin, landfill or even the oceans. They endeavour to keep their packaging to the minimum, choosing to use containers with a future use or recycled, functional packaging.
