WATERING CANS + JUGS

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.

Materials: Powder-coated galvanised steel

Dimensions: 43 x 23 x 13cm

Capacity 1.7 litres

The Langley One Pint: no, not the name of a Sheffield pub but of a versatile and durable watering can with an equally handy price-point.

Ready to grow your own? Engineered from durable recyclable plastic in one solid injection-molded piece, this multi-purpose small watering vessel will be your versatile little helper.

The fine spray rose is perfect for gently and accurately watering seedlings and young plants, and can be easily removed for general watering duties.

Available in a choice of vibrant tones, it brings a spot of local colour to your space. Pick a shade to contrast with or blend into your gardenscape and turn any task into a satisfying aesthetic experience.

You might easily be tempted to say, “Oh, go on, let’s have another pint,” but don’t overdo it. Learn to read your plants for signs that they need extra moisture (dry soil, brown leaf tips and wilting are some of the most common giveaways) and cut off drinks when they’ve had enough.

How much is one pint, you ask? A little under 500ml for the metrically minded. And the Langley weighs just 210g, so it’s an ergonomic choice that won’t weigh you down.

Because kids can

Watch the Kids bloom in the garden. Kids love learning to grow and nurture plants and sustain our ecology from an early age. This pays off in spades as they grow older contributing to positive physical and mental health.

Not only do young budding gardeners reap the benefit of breathing the outdoor air, but they also develop their hand-eye coordination, spacial skills, colour perception, olfactory and taste reception. For kids, the biggest indicator of nutrition and health in adulthood is the amount of time spent growing and learning about food, the diverse biosphere, and tasting food that they've helped grow.

With all the hallmarks of a big gardener's watering can, including the detachable, screw-on rose,  the Burgon & Ball insignia, and a "horty torty" British racing green enamel,  your child will feel pride and achievement in their garden patch using the Burgon and Ball Kids' watering can. 

Light as a feather with a 1 litre capacity and 2 handles to give them extra hold for their growing hands,  the classic design will last well into their growing years and can be passed on from family to family.
