Burgon & Ball launches new RHS-endorsed products



Burgon & Ball has launched extensive new ranges of RHS-endorsed gardening gifts and tools.

They include a new design for the award-winning RHS Gifts for Gardeners range, as well as some highly attractive new hand tools and a collection of brightly coloured tools that even absent-minded gardeners won’t lose.

The new design for Burgon & Ball’s award-winning RHS Gifts for Gardeners range is called Flora and Fauna. It takes inspiration from the wonderful historic archive of botanical art held by the RHS Lindley Library. The Flora and Fauna collection, which features images of delicate foliage and beautiful birds, includes twine in a tin, hand tools, a mug, a tray, an umbrella and more. All the favourite items in the RHS Gifts for Gardeners range — as well as some new arrivals — will be available in the new design.

The brand new FloraBrites range unites form and function in an unforgettable way. Developed in response to customer requests — notably at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show — for bright and ‘unlosable’ tools, those in this range are fluorescent yellow or pink, with reflective highlights that glow under torchlight. The RHS FloraBrite range includes trowels, forks and a selection of secateurs, all perfect for the vision-impaired — or simply absent-minded — gardener.

Burgon & Ball has also introduced two new gardening essentials: the stylish Ergo Deadheader, ergonomically designed to minimise joint and muscle strain during prolonged use, and the compact Micro Secateur, a gardening essential that is easy to pop in a pocket for gardening on the go.

All the new RHS-endorsed products were on show in September on the Burgon & Ball stand at Glee, the UK’s biggest and most valuable garden and outdoor living trade show, where they received an enthusiastic response. The products will be available from RHS Shops, all good garden centres and www.burgonandball.com by mid-October.

Burgon & Ball began manufacturing in 1730, producing some of the finest sheep shears and cutting tools in the world. The company is also at the leading edge of garden tool and accessory innovation and design — in recent years launching some of the best-received new products in the industry. Among its many RHS-endorsed products to date are a stainless steel garden tool range that includes large, mid-handled and hand tools — for digging, planting, clearing, weeding, cultivating and hoeing — and a range of cutting tools that includes secateurs, lawn shears, hedge shears, loppers, saws and pruning knives.

Heather Culpan, Managing Director, Burgon & Ball, says: “The combined inspiration of the fabulous imagery available to us as an RHS licensee and feedback from our loyal customer base has helped us to develop some of our best gardening tools and gifts yet — highly functional and useful but also very attractive and appealing.”

Cathy Snow, RHS Licensing Manager, says: “Visitors to the RHS Chelsea Flower Show were among customers requesting highly visible tools — and what a wonderful response the FloraBrites range is. The Flora and Fauna design for our Gifts for Gardeners range are delightful gifts and an absolutely stunning use of our artwork. These new ranges are among Burgon & Ball’s finest work to date.”
