Looking Forward

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.

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

This beautiful design is thanks to Basia Stryjecka, of Little Valley Studio. Originally from a small town in Poland, Basia now calls Michigan in the US her home. Often inspired by the beauty of nature, she creates pieces that bring a sense of calm and wonderment to our everyday lives. With a strong interest in color, composition, and texture she loves to integrate her knowledge of design into her abstract works. Watercolor is Basia's preferred medium, allowing the pigment to guide her brush in creating calming yet playful paintings

Let's face it. That trip to the stunning Kew Gardens or the Chelsea Garden Show is on hold for a while. This striking design is one of the many Royal Horticultural Society's RHS Gifts for Gardeners range which can help fill the void.

Features the Flora and Fauna artwork based on archival botanical illustrations from the RHS Lindley Library. 

This watering can is durable and extremely lightweight with an elegant slender spout for targeted watering. It can also double as a vessel or vase for floral arrangements.

There's plenty of inspiration with an escape to the Kew Gardens website. Explore the world of plants and fungi from your sofa, Flora & Fauna watering can in hand, of course!

Look at Me

These quirky vases will bring character to the home - whether used as a vase or simply an ornament in its own right they will draw in your eye. Use them for a feature shelf with a bright pink flower to mimic the incredible blooming cacti in nature.

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
