FLORISTRY

A sensational example of Burgon & Ball’s collaboration with Sophie Conran, the latest generation of the British design dynasty. She brings her ‘modern country house’ style to a range of must-have garden tools and accessories, elevating the everyday for home gardeners and plant lovers.

Ergonomically, this tool is a joy to use. As with all things in life, it’s a matter of balance: the handle slides forwards easily in your hand as you tilt, the slender, angled spout to direct the pour for on-target watering. The result is more moisture where it’s needed and less waste of a valuable resource in a dry continent.

Behind this fusion of beauty and practicality is Burgon & Ball’s peerless metal-working skills, developed continually throughout the company’s 290-year history. The steel body is treated with a protective powder coating and a sophisticated matt finish in a range of colours, including Sophie’s choice of this deliciously creamy buttermilk hue.

A metal seal bearing the Sophie Conran for Burgon & Ball logo on the top surface of the can adds the finishing touch and marks this out as a design of distinction. Pretty enough to leave out on the windowsill with pride.
