Our journey began when we couldn’t find tools that did the job well—so we made them. Marco a keen creator, licensed builder and practical man; Tess a gardener, harvester, dreamer, communicator. Together we have been creating tools in our workshop since 2013 and working alongside skilled engineers and other gardeners to test our products and refine the designs until they felt just right.

We knew if they worked for us, you'd love them too. With the right tools in hand, those everyday garden jobs become less of a chore and more of a pleasure.

Our tools are more than just instruments—they’re an invitation to a more thoughtful way of living and growing. We believe gardening is an act of care: for the land, for our communities, and for future generations. Choosing a tool that’s built to last a lifetime is a powerful choice!

We stand by three key foundations:

• Quality NZ Made Craftsmanship
  We believe great tools are made with care and attention to detail. That’s why we craft our own tools in small batches, taking our time through every step of the process to ensure they meet our high standards. When it’s not a tool we make ourselves, we seek out other clever artisans who share our commitment to quality and craftsmanship. We know you’ll appreciate their work just as much as ours. We choose materials for their strength and practicality, ensuring your tool will do its job for years to come.
  
• Thoughtful Design
  We understand that a garden tool should do more than just get the job done—it should enhance your gardening experience. That's why we focus on thoughtful design in every aspect of our tools, from their ergonomics to their functionality. Every handle, every pocket, every feature is carefully considered to ensure our tools are not only effective but also comfortable and intuitive to use, season after season.
• Innovation Rooted in Tradition
  We draw inspiration from traditional craftsmanship and the tools that have been trusted for generations, then we blend that with modern design and needs. Each of our tools brings the best of both worlds together, honoring the old ways while making sure they work even better for today’s gardeners. We’re all about staying true to tradition, while giving each tool a little modern twist to make it work harder for you.

Handmade means hands-on — every step, every detail. From measuring and cutting to welding, sanding, and finishing, packaging and labelling each product goes through many skilled stages before it reaches you. It’s a process that takes time!
