The perfect partner to the trowel this beautiful hand fork is a design classic.

The stainless steel of the fork is highly resistant to rust and will look good for years to come, and a strong leather cord allows the fork to be hung up tidily when not in use.

Like all of the RHS endorsed stainless steel tools, this hand fork comes with our lifetime guarantee. You should never need to buy another fork!

This beautiful gift boxed RHS-endorsed secateur makes a lovely gift for a gardener.

This high-quality secateur carries an endorsement from the Royal Horticultural Society, one of the world’s best-known names in gardening. It features a high-carbon steel blade, fully hardened and tempered for lasting sharpness. The comfortable soft-grip handles have specially-coloured handles to complement the Asteraceae design. The bypass cutting action makes it suitable for cutting green growth and live wood up to 2.5cm in diameter.

Let's face it a trip it's a long way to Kew Gardens or the Chelsea Garden Show.  Happily, this brand new Asteraceae print from the Royal Horticultural Society's RHS Gifts for Gardeners range helps fill the void for lovers of a traditional English aesthetic.

The new ‘Asteraceae’ design showcases blooms from the daisy family. These resilient flowers have a starring role to play in our gardens as summers last longer and autumns become warmer. They keep the colour going in a longer season, and also offer an important source of forage for pollinators when other flowers fade.

The elegant new design has been created by Burgon & Ball featuring illustrations dating illustrations dating from circa 1810, specially selected from the RHS Lindley Collections of historic botanical art. A soft sage green background is the perfect foil for the jewel-bright colours of the China aster and coreopsis.

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. If you're not planning to stick to your home garden, 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.
