TIME is running out to stand a chance of winning one of two sets of top-quality gardening tools for children in our great competition.
They come from the renowned British firm of Bulldog Tools, which has made tools at Clarington Forge in Wigan for no fewer than 235 years.
The six tools in each £75 set are: fork, spade, rake, Dutch hoe, spring-tine lawn rake and garden broom.
They are not toys but are made in exactly the same way as Bulldog’s full-sized adult versions.
The spade and fork are solid forged from the firm’s unique manganese steel and the hardwood shafts are selected for their high quality and straightness of grain and are fitted with polypropylene handles.
The hoe and rakes have hardwood shafts and the broom is made of ash wood. The shafts are 62cm (25in) long while the lawn rake has a 1.2m (4ft) handle.
Children getting into gardening can easily get frustrated by trying to manage over-sized adult tools or toy tools which are likely to bend or break when used for serious gardening.
Bulldog children’s tools combine correct size and weight with durability. In fact they are so tough that they are also ideal for use by wheelchair gardeners and people of shorter stature.
To enter the competition, answer this question: Which tool in the prize set has a 1.2m shaft?
