Designed for container gardening, houseplants, and balcony gardens, the Les Petites Mains (“Little Hands”) tool set combines thoughtful design with the craftsmanship of Tsubame-Sanjo, Japan.

Developed in collaboration with internationally acclaimed floral artist Keiko Yoshino, each tool is created to make planting, repotting, and everyday plant care both enjoyable and efficient.

The set includes three essential tools for working with pots, planters, and small garden spaces:

Scoop (Overall 20cm, Blade 9.5cm, Handle 10.5cm)

A compact scoop ideal for transferring soil, mixing fertiliser, digging planting holes, and working comfortably in confined spaces.

Cultivator Rake (Overall 19cm, Blade 8.5cm, Handle 10.5cm)

Designed for loosening and aerating soil, helping to create healthy growing conditions while remaining gentle on roots during repotting and maintenance.

Root Pick (Overall 19cm, Blade 8.5cm, Handle 10.5cm)

A slender tool for teasing apart compacted roots before repotting, helping plants absorb water and nutrients more effectively.

Each tool features a handle crafted from Niigata Snow Beech wood, sourced through a local forestry initiative that supports sustainable woodland management and regional craftsmanship.

  • Wipe the blade clean after each use to remove soil, moisture, sap, and plant residue.
  • Dry thoroughly before storing to help maintain the blade and prevent corrosion.
  • Although made from rust-resistant 420J2 stainless steel, avoid leaving the knife wet or exposed to moisture for prolonged periods.
  • Apply a light coat of camellia oil or mineral oil occasionally to help protect the blade and maintain performance.
  • Keep the blade sharp for safe and efficient use.
  • Store in the supplied sheath only when the blade is completely dry.
  • The wooden handle is made from natural material and may develop character over time. Avoid prolonged exposure to water or excessive humidity.
