GARDEN STUDIO

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 a trip it's a long way to Kew Gardens or the Chelsea Garden Show.  Happily, this brand new 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.

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.

Show your claws

This Burgon and Ball stainless steel claw cultivator is endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society, perhaps the ultimate gardening accolade.
