In addition to fixing my hair this Monday, I have started to investigate more about the production of the packaging material I use. Throughout the development of our hori hori, I have been incredibly careful with all the raw materials and processes involved in the production of the garden knife. When we chose cardboard, we wanted a practical and stylish, environmentally friendly solution and as little material as possible. After all, it’s the knife you wanted to buy, not the packaging, right? We chose an e-commerce box, large enough to hold a knife and a sheet of kraft paper. As simple as possible! And FSC certified! But then I read an article on @svenatur about working conditions in the cardboard industry and realized that I didn’t actually know the origin of the raw materials or which country the cardboard was produced in! So now I’ve sent an email to my cardboard supplier and hope to have an answer soon! Thank you for reading this far!
FSC stands for Forest Stewardship Council and is intended to ensure:
* Environmental and social responsibility: This means consideration for biodiversity, ecological values, and working conditions. * Traceability: Companies must be certified to show that the material is separated from uncontrolled timber. * Swedish standards: Developed in collaboration with the environmental movement, the forestry industry, and Sami representatives.
Hello 2026! Hands up if you like me just ordered seeds for the new garden season! 😬
What are you most longing for to grow this year? I’m starting with the chili seeds 🌶️
My favorite it the little darling Aji Amarillo. It’s very common in chile and goes well with one of my favorite dishes Cevice. It’s yellow, fruity and a bit citrusy, it got just the right spiciness and is very beautiful. And the smell is amazing. But I will have some more varieties of course. Witch one is your favorite and why?

Hello from Santa 🤶 Last week before Christmas. Make sure to order your Hori Hori in time. I hope this garden tool can be your new bestie while planting, digging, sowing and enjoying your garden. It’s my first ”talk to the camera” reel so be gentle 🤗
The Hori Hori is great for harvesting and chopping of roots! In this video Alexander is cleaning up a bed and before using the bcs tractor he removes all the salads that are left. By chopping of root it will be less material that he will need to carry inside.
Of course the Hori Hori is great for harvesting in spring and summer as well, with the same technique.
Last Friday I went on a little roadtrip to meet Courney and Alexander who, in addition to working with Katarina at @andebolsgard (and doing a PhD), also run @birgittas.tradgard outside Nyköping. What a luxury to hang out with them for a while and hear how they use hori hori in their job as veggie growers. Thank you for having me🙏
Do you have a Hori Hori? Are you interested in inviting me to come and shoot some pictures at your place and give me some inspiration and input on the Hori Hori knife?
Lottie went for black handle with dark brown cover 🖤
Thank you @etcsolpark for inviting me and my knives! Now you can also buy my Hori hori knives at their POP UP store in Stockholm, St Paulsgatan 14 🛍️...
Idag kan ni träffa mig och mina hori hori-knivar hos ETC solpark i Katrineholm!
Det blir föreläsning om slow flowers och fika, rundvandring i växthusen och pyssel för barn!
・・・ I helgen gästas vi av Anja från Mojave grönt som kommer att sälja sina Hori Hori knivar. Med sitt välvda blad är Hori Hori en kombination av spade, kniv, såg och måttstock. Med en Hori Hori-kniv kan du gräva, rensa ogräs, plantera plantor och lök, luckra bäddar, mäta planteringsdjup och avstånd, bända, spånta stickor. Med den sågtandade sidan kan du bland annat rensa bort kraftigare rotogräs, dela perenner och skörda grönsaker. Hori Hori-kniven passar också perfekt till att göra mindre men viktiga moment som att dra en sårad, öppna en jordpåse, skära av ett rep eller ta bort en maskros. Ett helt otroligt hantverk ligger bakom dessa knivar och det är en trädgårdsvän för livet om du frågar oss!...
