Introducing Copper & Green: handcrafted, UK-made  Copper Garden Trowels, Plant Labels, Pot & Plant Rings to deter slugs

Copper & Green is proud to unveil its latest collection of handmade copper creations; each piece meticulously crafted in the UK with an emphasis on traditional artistry and thoughtful design. From its distinctive Blackened Copper Pots to the elegant slug rings, Copper & Green offers products that not only enhance the beauty of your garden and home but also celebrate the timeless appeal of bespoke craftsmanship.

Like nothing you’ve ever seen before: New Copper Garden Trowel

The Copper and Green Garden Trowel (£28.00) is a beautifully handcrafted tool that blends elegance with functionality, making it an essential addition to any gardener’s collection. Measuring 28cm in length with a 5.5cm diameter, this uniquely designed trowel features a scooped end and a striking lace binding, offering both practicality and aesthetic appeal.

Designed for precision planting, the cylindrical shape of the trowel allows for effortless soil penetration, making it ideal for creating holes for bulbs, seedlings, and small plants with minimal disturbance. Its innovative shape also enables gardeners to lift out sections of soil to create furrows, providing a simple yet effective way to sow seeds in neat, uniform rows.

Handmade in the UK, the Copper and Green Garden Trowel is built to last, with natural anti-rust properties that ensure durability season after season. The carefully crafted handle provides a comfortable grip, while the addition of colourful laces adds a unique touch of character. Combining high-quality craftsmanship with timeless design, this trowel is the perfect tool for both practical gardening tasks and those who appreciate beautifully made garden essentials.

The art of handmade excellence

At Copper & Green, every item is crafted by hand, ensuring a unique character for each piece. Using centuries-old techniques, the in-house skilled artisan spins, shapes, and finishes each product with careful precision. As no two items are exactly alike, each pot or ring carries subtle variations, meaning your purchase is truly one of a kind.

Pure Copper Plant Rings: beauty and utility combined

Copper & Green’s pure Copper Plant Rings are not only a stylish addition to your garden but a practical one as well. These rings protect plants from slugs and snails by creating a natural barrier. Slugs, when they come into contact with the copper, feel a mild discomfort that encourages them to retreat, keeping your plants safe without the need for harmful chemicals.

Each plant ring is hand-formed to precise measurements, with options like the 9cm plant ring (RRP £6.00) for smaller plants or the 14cm plant ring (RRP £9.00) for larger shrubs. These rings are an elegant, yet highly-effective, solution for organic gardeners looking for sustainable pest control. Sold in bundles for larger garden spaces (RRP £22.00 - £48.00), these plant rings are as decorative as they are functional, allowing you to showcase your plants without the intrusion of unwanted pests.

A copper army: New Copper Pot Rings

Expanding on Copper & Green’s success with copper plant rings, the all-new Pure Copper Pot Rings provide a durable and effective solution for protecting potted plants from slugs and snails. Responding to gardener feedback, these innovative rings are designed to attach securely to plant pots - without the need for adhesives - offering a far superior alternative to traditional copper tape. Unlike tape, which often struggles to adhere to porous materials like terracotta and tends to degrade after a season or two, these heavy-duty copper rings fasten firmly around the pot’s perimeter, ensuring long-lasting protection year after year.

Designed with versatility in mind, the modular construction allows the rings to be adjusted to fit a wide range of pot sizes, from 18cm to 75cm in diameter, with four available sizes: Small, Medium, Large, and XXL. The fastening mechanism functions like a belt, tightening securely for a snug fit, while copper tabs fold over the pot’s rim to hold the ring in place. Crafted from 100% pure copper, each ring stands 5cm high, forming an unbroken barrier that slugs and snails will not cross due to the natural reaction they experience upon contact.

Unlike other slug deterrents that require frequent replacement or chemical applications, Copper & Green’s Pure Copper Pot Rings are a one-time investment for gardeners seeking an eco-friendly, long-term solution. Whether used to protect delicate flowers, salad crops, or prized hostas, these rings blend seamlessly into any garden setting while offering unmatched durability and effectiveness. Plus, their ability to fit non-circular pots further enhances their adaptability, making them an essential tool for container gardeners everywhere.

Prices for the all-new Copper Pot Rings range from £15.00 - £34.00.

NEW for 2025: Laser printed Copper Plant Labels

Expanding Copper & Green’s premium range, the new-for-2025 Pure Copper Plant Labels introduce laser engraving for a crisp, permanent finish that remains fade-resistant for years to come. Handmade in the UK from 100% pure copper, these labels are designed to withstand all weather conditions, ensuring they remain waterproof, windproof, and rot-resistant. Unlike wooden or plastic alternatives, they develop a beautiful natural patina over time while maintaining their legibility, making them a stylish yet highly practical choice for gardeners who value durability and elegance.

Complementing the brand’s existing embossed and personalised labels, this latest addition harnesses precision laser engraving to create clear, long-lasting text that won’t wear away with exposure to the elements. The Top 5 Herbs Bundle features five handcrafted labels—Mint, Thyme, Rosemary, Basil, and Sage—providing an attractive and functional way to organise any herb garden. Each label also includes a convenient hanging hole for easy storage, making them a must-have for kitchen gardeners, allotment growers, and plant lovers alike.

A focus on individual design

Copper & Green’s dedication to handmade processes ensures that every product is unique. Unlike mass-produced items, each copper pot or ring has its own story, created through subtle differences in shaping, texture, and patina development. The natural imperfections and variations give each item its own charm, making it a personal and cherished part of your home or garden. As the copper ages, it will develop an individual patina based on how it is used and where it is displayed, adding even more character as time goes on. What’s more, each piece is hand stamped with the Copper & Green leaf mark and the year of manufacture in discreet roman numerals.

For those who appreciate authenticity in their surroundings, Copper & Green’s pieces are a celebration of craftsmanship. You are not just purchasing a product – you are investing in a piece of artistry that is designed to last for years to come. The use of pure copper means that, unlike plastic or terracotta, these items will not shatter or degrade but will become more beautiful with age.
