Why choose the Darlac vintage bamboo tool range?

The Darlac vintage bamboo tool range goes through many processes to maintain the same rustic beauty of garden tools from bygone days, yet ensures that these products are also strong and durable enough for whatever your garden throws at you. The stainless steel head is hand-welded and treated to look like “old steel”, but still retains the rust resistant qualities of traditional looking stainless.

Bamboo is a 100% sustainable source – replenishing itself within 36 months – and a great eco-friendly alternative to standard garden tool handles. Its durability is comparable to the tensile strength of steel, yet the finish is reminiscent of traditional ash for a tool that not only looks the part but gets the job done too.

We take great care to ensure your plants arrive in perfect condition. Using recycled boxes and newspaper as often as possible, with straw placed underneath and on top of the plants to help prevent the plants moving around during transit.

Each potted plant has stakes used where needed to help protect, plants are then individually wrapped before being packed into the box.

Orders are dispatched via DPD on a 24-hour tracked service (Tuesday to Thursday), so your plants spend as little time in transit as possible.
