Niwaki Garden Snips Brooms & Dustpans The flowers are spikyNiwaki Garden Snips We all need a good pair of snips, ones that can live in pockets without doing any harm, and wander round the garden with us for those unplanned moments and these ones are great. Handy to have a couple of pairs really, as they are absolutely brilliant for flowers, fruit and veg, but arent nearly as tough as secateurs, obviously, and are for green growth only, not woody pruning. Slender blades get right in for careful snipping. 3. 7
