This is a collaborative post in partnership with Fiskars.
If you’re planning some gardening projects for spring, this is the giveaway for you 🙂
I’m teaming up with premium gardening tools brand Fiskars to give away a brilliant prize bundle of products worth over £65.
Read on to find out more and enter the competition.
Fiskars gardening tools
You’re probably already familiar with Fiskars. They’re synonymous with high quality cutting tools for the home and garden, the most famous of which is probably their iconic orange-handled scissors. Over a billion of these have been sold since they first launched in 1967!
The range of Fiskars gardening tools includes pruners, loppers, shears, axes and lawn care tools, plus a wide selection of spades, rakes, weeding tools and hand tools. Every Fiskars tool is designed with the aim of making gardening easier and more efficient.
Each product in the prize bundle is newly launched this year. As you’d expect from Fiskars, they’re all beautifully made, high quality, and designed with practicality and comfort in mind.
Let’s take a look at the products in more detail.
Fiskars Medium Solid Bypass Pruners
Secateurs are one of the most frequently used gardening tools, and as such I think it’s really important to have a good pair that’s well-designed and easy to use. These Medium Bypass Pruners from the Fiskars Solid range retail at £12.99 and tick all the boxes.
Made with quality materials, they’re hard-working and comfortable to hold. This allows for easy and smooth cutting through branches and stems. The blades are fully hardened and precision-ground, which means they’ll stay sharper for longer too.
I’ve tried many pairs of secateurs over the years, and these are definitely up there in terms of performance and comfort. I particularly like the soft grip handle, which really comes into its own when you’re tackling larger branches.
Fiskars Ergo Standing Bulb Planter
If you’ve ever planted bulbs in your garden, you’ll know just what back-breaking work it can be. This standing bulb planter from the Fiskars Ergo range takes all the strain out of the job.
Ergonomically designed and featuring a comfortable handle, it allows you to tackle the planting from a standing position. You simply push the base into the ground to remove a plug of soil, pop your bulb into the hole, and squeeze the trigger to release the soil back on top.
The Ergo Standing Bulb Planter retails at £34.99 and is ideal for planting summer-flowering bulbs and tubers, such as gladioli and dahlias. And when autumn arrives, it will take the strain out of the spring bulb planting too.
While it’s primarily designed for planting bulbs, you can also use this tool to quickly create small planting holes for your plants, without the need for digging or bending.
I’ve always planted bulbs from a kneeling position – until now. Having tried out this standing bulb planter, all I can say is I wish I’d had it years ago! It makes the job so much quicker and easier, giving your back and knees a break at the same time.
Fiskars Recycled Universal 21cm Scissors
I’ve been using Fiskars universal scissors for a few years now. I love the fact that they’re so comfortable to hold, and provide superior cutting performance. They last for ages too.
This latest addition to the Fiskars universal scissors range is made from recycled and 100% recyclable materials, offering an eco-friendlier option for your everyday scissors.
Retailing at £17.99 and measuring 21cm long, they have ergonomic handles and strong stainless steel blades. As well as being a really handy gardening tool, they’re also ideal for a multitude of uses inside the home.
It’s a great prize bundle of Fiskars gardening tools, isn’t it? What gardening job will you tackle first if you’re the lucky winner?

2021 is the year to sort the garden – it was overgrown when we moved in so has had another year’s growth on top, it has a great range of mature plants but unfortunately they are very overgrown so we will cut them right back, re-lay the lawn and make some lovely planters and baskets. I’m so looking forward to sitting in the garden this year and enjoying it, especially as last year we seemed to be indoors most of the time getting it up to scratch, as well as working full time throughout.
Great giveaway, thank you.
