Berry & Bird Garden Tools make debut at Glee
GTN Xtra Promotion

 

Berry & Bird, the internationally respected garden tool manufacturer known for its innovative stainless steel designs and deep commitment to craftsmanship, will make its debut at Glee Birmingham 2026.

 

Rooted in tradition, sustainability, and a belief that gardening is an art rather than a hobby, Berry & Bird creates tools that connect people with nature and bring harmony to every garden. Every product reflects their philosophy: that each gardening action supports growth, beauty, and a way of life that values care for the environment.

 

The Brand from a Trusted Manufacturer

With their own dedicated manufacturing facility, Berry & Bird blends heritage craftsmanship with modern engineering. Each tool in their 2027 range is made from premium stainless steel and responsibly sourced ash wood, ensuring durability, comfort, and long-term sustainability. From raw material selection to final assembly, their process is guided by precision, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.

 

Today, Berry & Bird offers nine garden tool categories and over 100 product variations, designed to meet the needs of gardeners everywhere. Their ranges include digging and cultivating tools, weeding, and tidying essentials, specialist lawn tools, planting tools, a lightweight collection for accessible gardening, and a dedicated children’s range to inspire the next generation. Led by a knowledgeable UK based team with valuable experience in garden products, a core range of beautiful stainless steel best sellers have been selected for the 2027 range:

 

  • Strong, Balanced, Built to Last: The Berry & Bird digging tools collection is essential for preparing any type of soil. These beautifully crafted spades and forks combine timeless design with robust functionality, making digging, turning, and aerating effortless. Perfectly balanced and engineered for strength, they support healthy plant growth and long-term garden success.
  • Precision, Comfort, Elegance: Designed for delicate tasks in confined spaces, Berry & Bird hand tools excel in seedling transplanting, fertilising and weed removal. Compact yet powerful, they offer accuracy and versatility. Their ergonomic shaping reduces fatigue, while their refined aesthetic adds elegance to any garden.
  • For Healthier Soil & Stronger Roots: The long handled cultivating range is crafted for planting and maintaining larger seedlings. Lightweight materials and streamlined designs reduce strain, allowing gardeners to work longer with greater ease. These tools support every stage of garden growth, from casual gardeners to dedicated horticulturists.
  • Extended Reach, Enhanced Control: With longer handles for increased reach, the border hand tools offer improved comfort and control when working in borders, raised beds and tighter spaces. In this category are gardeners’ favourite designs such as trowels, forks, rakes, and cultivators.
  • East to Handle, Hard to Beat: The lighter tool range provides a more accessible tool range designed for comfort and ease. Crafted with reduced weight and shorter lengths, each tool lowers strain without losing strength. Perfectly balanced and easy to handle, they deliver reliable performance in a more manageable form for enjoyable, extended gardening.

Retailers and buyers are invited to explore the full Berry & Bird range at Glee Birmingham, NEC 8th – 10th September 2026 (Stand 19G62) and experience first-hand the craftsmanship, innovation and sustainability that define the brand.
