Burgon & Ball showcases New Wonder Weed Puller at RHS Chelsea Flower Show

Burgon & Ball, the UK’s longest-established manufacturer of garden tools and accessories, will be showcasing its new Wonder Weed Puller, a Chelsea Product of the Year finalist, at this year’s RHS Chelsea Flower Show – as well as some astonishingly large RHS-endorsed garden tools.

 

For its twenty-second year at the event, Burgon & Ball is making a big statement with its market-leading RHS-endorsed tool range. Taking pride of place will be giant replicas of the classic RHS-endorsed mid-handled trowel and fork. The Burgon & Ball stand will be showing the only garden tools at Chelsea to carry the prized RHS endorsement.

 

Also in the spotlight on the Burgon & Ball stand will be the new Wonder Weed Puller.  This innovative new tool for weeding in lawns is already a GLEE New Product Award winner and is now a finalist for Chelsea Product of the Year. Designed for use while standing to eliminate backache, the Wonder Weed Puller couldn’t be simpler to use. Simply insert the prongs over the crown of the weed, rotate, and pull to extract the weed, roots and all. An addictively satisfying ejector button on the handle then consigns weeds to the waste.

Visitors to the stand will be able to see the Paper Pot Maker, a simple way to make an everlasting supply of paper pots from newspaper, which now has an appealing reduced RRP and easy-to-merchandise packaging. There will also be a selection of wooden and metal plant labels, as well as metal plant support rings, for gardeners who want to adopt a more sustainable approach.

 

Burgon and Ball Indoor pots Tuscany blue lifestyle.jpg Making their Chelsea debut will be Burgon & Ball’s inspirational collection of indoor pots. With houseplants making headlines, these beautiful pots bring style, fashion and flair to indoor gardening. From striking hanging pots in cool neutrals to complement ‘Scandi’ style, to stylish glazed pots with beautiful textured designs, there’s something for every plant, and every home. 

 

Burgon & Ball Chelsea selection will be completed by the gorgeous Garden Supplies collection of gifts, storage and sundries for gardeners. Styled with beautiful smooth curves, contemporary graphics and on-trend touches of natural materials like FSC® beech and leather, this collection really raises the bar in the style stakes.

 

All ranges have sold extremely well since launching at GLEE, and are sure to create a buzz with the Chelsea crowds.
