Niwaki’s tools are deeply rooted in Japanese design traditions, being thoughtfully made, bringing joy through use and, most importantly, being built to last.
Caring for your tools and caring for your plants go hand in hand, and with a little know-how a simple pair of finely crafted secateurs can deliver years of clean, healthy cuts, not to mention the satisfaction of having maintained them yourself.
You’ll find Niwaki in The Germination Station – our space for practical demos and skills-building. The team from Niwaki will be offering tool sharpening demonstrations to help you keep your gear in tip-top condition. With a few practical tips and techniques, you’ll learn how the right tools can last a lifetime and make light work of everyday garden jobs.
The festival is all about sowing the seeds of long-term, planet-friendly growing, so you can see how Niwaki’s thoughtful approach to durable designs is a perfect fit.
Pop by The Germination Station to learn from the team that takes the tool design and care as seriously as you take your garden.
