We’ve combined our skills to create a limited edition collection of Niwaki’s most popular tools and accessories and to design an original, made-in-Japan jacket.

Together we celebrate a certain way of looking at the world that calls for attention to detail and patience – sentiments embodied in the Newt’s motto “Grow Slowly” – whether that’s hand-forging a pair of secateurs or tending a garden.

Jake Hobson, founder of Niwaki, shares his thoughts on the collaboration: “We approach our tools with the same care and attention to detail that The Newt has given to their spectacular site,” says Hobson. “This collaboration marries Niwaki’s pursuit of quality and durability with a touch of English country garden whimsy, resulting in an especially desirable collection for those who share our passions.”

Atsushi Hasegawa, Creative Director at The Newt in Somerset, adds: “We’re long-time admirers of Niwaki at The Newt and our gardeners use their wonderful tools every day. It’s been a joy to work on this collaboration, weaving a shared thread of Japanese sartorial history and tradition into this practical, stylish and covetable collection for the modern British gardener.”
