You Should Never Need to Buy Another Garden Fork!

The Burgon and Ball stainless steel hand fork is endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society, perhaps the ultimate accolade in the gardening world.

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.

Featuring a cushioned palm for comfort and protection, as well as a gathered wrist to prevent debris falling into them, these gardening gloves are soft to wear, but very tough and hardwearing. To keep them looking good, they are even machine washable at 30°C. With a degree of stretch to the gorgeously-printed fabric, one size fits (almost) all.

Burgon and Ball's stainless-steel dandelion weeder is endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society, perhaps the highest accolade in the gardening world.

Traditional and effective, this weeding tool offers an organic, chemical-free option for removing tap-rooted weeds such as dandelions. The sharp point penetrates ground easily, and the notched V-shaped tip allows roots to be cut off deep underground so the weeds won't come back. Simple, clever and safe. There's no need to worry about chemicals around children and pets and look forward to no regrowth.

The stainless steel of this weed remover tool is extremely resistant to rust, so will stay looking good for years. A strong leather cord allows the weeder to be hung up when you're not using it, keeping the shed or the garage tidy.

RHS-endorsed stainless steel tools come with a lifetime guarantee.

I'll be darned? Did you know?

Dandelions are edible weeds! That's right...celebrated in both eastern and western herbalism and loved by many cultures. Next time you run out of greens pop outside with your RHS Dandelion Weeder. Have you considered sauteeing your dandelion (after washing it thoroughly of course), with some olive oil and a clove of garlic. Once softened, remove the garlic, add salt and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Enjoy on crusty bread with a sprinkle of chilli flakes for a kick.
