We’ve been designing and making tool belts since back when nothing like them existed. Each design is thoughtfully tailored for specific tools and skill sets. Made to order in our cabin workshop in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Often imitated but never duplicated, this iconic garden belt is known the world over and beloved by flower farmers, florists and green thumbs alike. It’s available now directly from Wheeler Munroe Leather Co.
“This handcrafted tool belt has revolutionized the way we work here at Floret, in the field, in the studio and even during wedding installations. After years of tearing holes in the back pockets of every pair of pants and misplacing phones, pens and flower snips throughout the day, this custom designed belt changed everything.” — Floret
Custom pockets hold a soil knife, bypass pruners and floral shears, with dual side pouches for a marker and plant tags. A riveted nickel hoop and carabiner carry everything else, keeping your essential tools right at your side.
“I can’t tell you how this tool has changed things in the garden for me. It’s a huge time-saver, keeps me more organized, and has increased my productivity in the garden in ways I never expected! I think it will do the same for you.” -Joe Lamp’l
More than just tool belts…..
@WheelerandMichael are makers sharing a look inside their thoughts and processes — in the wood shop and leather shop, on their maple syrup farm, and wherever the materials of the moment lead them.
These films follow the slow work of shaping materials, tending the land, and cultivating beauty in the everyday.
We are a small family farm perched on the north-facing slopes of Three Top Mountain in Ashe County, NC. Each year we make only about 100 gallons of syrup in our wood-fired sugar house, from the sap of native sugar and red maples in the surrounding forest. As far as we know, we are of the southernmost maple farm in the country.
If you’d like to follow our farm story or buy our syrup, head over to our farm website and subscribe to our farm newsletter. We send out only a handful of newsletters each winter where we share the highs and lows of the season along with updates about syrup availability.
