This season Sheffield-based Burgon & Ball, creator of premium gardening tools and accessories since 1730, is launching a beautiful new design collection in its top-selling ‘RHS Gifts for Gardeners’ series.
The 12-piece new collection ‘Woodland Wonders’ takes inspiration from an increasing love for natural woodlands and for woodland gardens. Rewilding, forest bathing and the importance of natural habitats are recurring themes in winning gardens at RHS flower shows. Increasingly gardeners are looking to add a woodland element to their outdoor space, however small.
The new pattern has been created by Burgon & Ball and has an elegant and timeless feel. It incorporates specially selected eighteenth and early nineteenth century illustrations from the RHS Lindley Collections of historic botanical art. A dark green background evokes the peace of the deep forest, allowing the illustrations of berries and leaves, birds and insects to shine out. Beautiful gift packaging features the eye-catching new design, and in tune with consumer expectations, the packaging is plastic-free and easily recyclable.
Delivering value for money
‘Woodland Wonders’ adds exciting new gifting options to update and refresh the ‘RHS Gifts for Gardeners’ range. It also includes proven top-selling lines from previous RHS Gifts design collections. Across the range, prices have been set to deliver value for money, a factor always in demand with shoppers.
For example, the popular RHS Gifts herb pot set is included in this collection, now containing two pretty herb pots and designed to retail at a sub-£10 price point. The pots are packaged stacked to minimise footprint and maximise return on space for the retailer. New gauntlet gloves have a deep cuff for a little extra coverage when needed, and retail appealingly just a small margin above the regular RHS Gifts glove.
There’s also a new sowing and potting tin, perfect for gardeners who enjoy growing from seed. This reusable tin with the beautiful ‘Woodland Wonders’ design is jam-packed with propagation accessories, with lightweight stretch gloves, scoop, wooden dibblet and seed storage envelopes. Retailing at just £16.99, this new gift offers exceptional value.
Gifts for non-gardeners, too!
The beautiful ‘Woodland Wonders’ design has been extended to new gifts which will appeal to non-gardeners, as well as garden lovers. There’s a new A5 gardener’s notebook which includes a printed page of foraging information, and which comes complete with a quality pen. A magnetic notepad is perfect for the fridge door, offering the perfect place to capture those ‘jobs for the weekend’! A heavyweight cotton tote bag gives a way to take the peace of the woods with you when you’re out and about.
Reliable top-sellers
Favourite gift options from other design collections in the series make a welcome return with ‘Woodland Wonders’. In RHS-endorsed tools, the ever-popular trowel and hand fork set is included. The trowel is etched with a line of poetry by Lord Byron, and both tools have a lifetime guarantee. There’s a pruner and holster in a tin, the pruner with a ten-year guarantee. There’s also the return of gift-boxed gardener’s snips, again with a ten-year guarantee. All tools have limited-edition dark green handles.
In accessories, the ever-popular indoor watering can returns to the classic RHS Gifts silhouette, with an elegant long tapered spout for accurate pouring. The much-loved Kneelo® memory foam kneeler shows off the sophisticated new pattern to perfection. Completing the line-up, the gardening gloves have cushioned palm and anti-debris gathered wrist. They’re also washable at 30 degrees to keep them looking good.
