FOR A FLOWER LOVER

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.

The Rowley Ripple effect

Whether you intend to use it indoors or outside, Haw’s multipurpose ROWLEY RIPPLE in Copper is the Rolls Royce of watering cans, an investment piece that will repay you handsomely over many years.

HAWS watering cans are still made by hand in the company’s studio in England’s West Midlands. Each can take up to 200 steps to complete, part of a tradition of quality that dates back to 1886 

Which watering cans are the best?

The best watering cans are carefully calibrated for exquisite balance in the hand and for durability. With The ROWLEY RIPPLE's long, curvy spout you'll get spot-on watering accuracy. It comes with a removable, non-drip brass rose, so you can gently hydrate even the teeniest seedlings.  What's more, The ROWLEY RIPPLE design is more than 100 years old, making it older than the Queen but just as enduring and endearingly symbolic.

Delivered in a presentation gift box, this is a justifiable indulgence or the perfect gift to delight the nature lover for years to come.

An estimated $400 million was spent on 10 million unwanted gifts last Christmas in Australia, many of which were discarded and likely ended up in landfill.

Gift cards endure as a great solution. When you know your friend or family member loves nature, the garden, craft, and the outdoors, FORA can help you alleviate that "did I get the right present" anxiety and quell that Gift Card buying guilt. Because let's face it, we all know a fuss POT or two.

Sustainability aside, some of us are just are not that organised so a Fora Gift Card will make a handy last-minute digital gift.

Doddle Hoe

"The unique angle and shape of my Ergo Hoe makes weeding & cultivating a doddle, even in the most baked of soils. Just drop the head, with its extra sharp blade, into the soil and draw towards you. Because the blade is on the inside of the hoe head it prevents you accidentally slicing through the stems of your prized plants!"

-Sophie Conran

It'll soon be time (from February onwards) to prepare your soil and cultivate those pretty flower bulbs for spring harvest - think tulips, daffodils and hyacinths bulbs. As Sophie says, planning your Gardening Australia feature-worthy display is a doddle with this Ergo Hoe.

Not just a good-looking instrument in a beautiful box, the Ergo Hoe will make cultivating and planting much more pleasant and efficient. Sometimes we just need help keeping up appearances instead of sweating it out in the Aussie garden sun. The Ergo Hoe helps any garden lover do just that.

Dabble in a Dibber 

Get your dibber on. To the uninitiated, dibbers appear like an oddity leftover from an antique curio store. Or perhaps a bartender's tool for making your favourite mojito cocktail.

If you're into growing your own, once you join the dibbers club, you'll never look back. All over the world, they're dibbling on backyard and frontyard lawns, even nature strips!!

Ok, so practically speaking here's what you do with your dibber:

 "An invaluable tool for planting seeds, bulbs and seedlings, even in grass or harder soils. Simply push the point into the soil to make a hole, (wiggle around for a bigger hole), drop your subject in, and cover with soil. Pray for clement weather and enjoy the results".

There's no inconspicuous packaging with this dibber. It comes beautifully boxed, as are all Sophie Conran's Burgon and Ball collaborations, this makes a perfect gift for that down and dirty soil lover.

Waxed Forestry Stewardship Council  (FSC) certified beech wood is sourced for the handle.

Let's face it, that trip to Kew Gardens or the Chelsea Garden Show is on hold for a while. Happily, his striking watering can design from the Royal Horticultural Society's RHS Gifts for Gardeners range helps fill the void for lovers of a traditional English aesthetic.

This version features the British Bloom artworks, based on archival botanical illustrations from the RHS Lindley Library. Lush dahlias and peonies pop from a dramatically dark background.  

It’s so gorgeous it could easily double as a statement vase for a small flower arrangement, but this piece has practical credentials, too. All-steel construction makes it durable but lightweight, while the elegant spout facilitates on-target watering — less spillage, less water waste. 

Even if your plot, balcony or window box will never rival Sissinghurst Castle Garden, don’t fret. There's plenty of inspiration this spring with Open Gardens Australia's season calendar. But if you’re locked down at home, escape to the Kew Gardens site and explore the world of plants and fungi from your sofa. (Gin and tonic optional.)

And if handling this watering can fosters a love of botanical illustration, why not give it a try? There's inspiration everywhere. You can find more about the history and process of this gentle artform here. The Australian National Botanic Garden maintains an amazing online library of our own native plants rendered in art.

Materials: Galvanised steel 

Dimensions: 37 x 21 x 13 cm

The SIENA MINT greeting card vase is inspired by the Mediterranean sunrise and sunset and will brighten up anyone's special day.

Instead of ending up in the back of the drawer, it doubles as a vase able to adorn any entrance, desk or table with your favourite blooms

 The card is ruled and includes metallic gold foil that reads: A little note.

Made of special waterproof paper that is embellished with laminate and sewn by hand, the vase is a tribute to the ancient and sophisticated art of ceramics.

Each vase also comes with instructions on how to best use the paper vase. As the vase is made of waterproof paper, should the paper get wet, simply let it dry.
