The RHS Chelsea Flower Show in London is the highlight of the year for garden lovers around the world. From vibrant flower displays to sustainable, innovative garden products: between 21 and 25 May 2025, the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) once again celebrated the very best of the gardening world. This year was extra special for Sneeboer. We proudly won the ‘Sustainable Garden Product of the Year 2025’ award!
Sneeboer wins prestigious award at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show
The RHS Chelsea Flower Show brings together thousands of visitors every year. People find inspiration in beautiful gardens, expert growers and groundbreaking products. For Sneeboer, taking part is always a joy. In 2025, we received a remarkable honour: our Garden Scoop was crowned Sustainable Garden Product of the Year. The judges praised the innovative design, the laser-welded forging technique (which uses up to 30% less energy), and the circular use of wood. We craft the handles from wood offcuts that would otherwise go to waste.
We also received a nomination for Sustainable Business of the Year. That feels like a tremendous honour. This recognition confirms our commitment to ethical and environmentally conscious business. Although we just missed out on the main prize, the nomination proves that Sneeboer takes sustainability seriously. We continue to invest in induction energy, solar panels and circular materials. In this way, we are consistently reducing our ecological footprint.
Garden Scoop: the sustainable all-rounder

Garden scoop€ 44,95
The award-winning Garden Scoop combines craftsmanship with innovation. We select sustainable materials and our production process focuses entirely on saving energy and reducing waste. Thanks to our laser-welded forging technique, we save up to 30% energy. The tool is robust yet lightweight. For the handles, we use circular wood from reclaimed streams.
The Garden Scoop excels at precision work. Distributing compost and mulch in pots and borders is effortless. With the integrated cutting edge, you can easily open a compost bag. The judges valued not only the clever design, but also its aesthetics and comfort. The result? A true Sneeboer tool.
Our story gained plenty of attention. During the show, the BBC interviewed us. In the Chelsea special of BBC Gardeners’ World, we shared insights into our manufacturing process, our vision for sustainability, and the Sneeboer family tradition. This allowed us to present our work, our mission and our award-winning scoop to a broad audience.
Prototype compost scoop & other innovations
The Garden Scoop was not our only highlight. Visitors at our stand could also test the prototype of our new compost scoop. This lightweight yet strong scoop makes composting easier and more enjoyable. The ergonomic design and sustainable production fit seamlessly into our collection. We received lots of feedback during the show, helping us to develop products that truly contribute to a greener future.
A reward for craftsmanship and vision
The award at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show crowns the work of everyone at Sneeboer. Our blend of over a century of craftsmanship, innovation and sustainable choices proves to have a bright future. We thank the RHS judges, our partners, colleagues and customers. Your trust and enthusiasm are invaluable. Thanks to you, we achieved this recognition.
Looking to the future
With the Garden Scoop Award under our belt, we will continue to invest in sustainability and innovation. New products are on the way. They will combine circular materials, energy-efficient craftsmanship and maximum functionality. Stay up to date via our newsletter, social channels and blog.
