Cheap imports, so most tools aren't made in the UK, or are only partly made here, or possibly put together here. I have one 'trowel' - a bulb planter. Had it for about twenty years - possibly longer. It'll be Spear and Jackson or similar. Still great. One border spade, held together with gaffer tape, as I didn't like the new one I bought ,and it's still great - had that for even longer than the trowel. New one gets used for shovelling gravel, and nothing much else.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
There has to be a market for home grown gardening tools. Restored old tools are highly sought after now. We should all dig out our Grandfather's tools, fix them up and use them. 🤔
