At Glee this year Sheffield-based Burgon & Ball, creator since 1730 of beautiful premium gardening tools and accessories, is unveiling RHS Growing Gardeners. It’s a new family gardening concept which builds on the passion for gardening together that families discovered during lockdown.
In an innovative step, the range of tools and accessories is backed by an online resource with family-friendly ideas, projects and inspiration from the trusted experts at the RHS, developed to make gardening with children easy and fun.
The new RHS Growing Gardeners range has been created with two distinct consumers in mind: the adult, as well as the child. The combination of knowledge and inspiration from the RHS for the parent or carer, with high-quality colourful tools and accessories for the child, makes this range a completely new concept, unlike anything that’s previously been available.
Designed for age range 5 – 12, the range has been developed to appeal to all kinds of families, living in all kinds of homes. Whether a family has a large outdoor space, or is looking for an indoor windowsill project, the RHS Growing Gardeners range will spark their imagination.
The range introduces a number of completely new and innovative ideas for the family gardening market. Link-a-Pot is a set of three plant pots with clear acrylic bases to show when the plant needs watering, helping families keep their plants healthy for a positive growing experience. The pots can be linked together to form chains and shapes, and linked with additional sets.
A potting mat and tool bag is a handy way to store or transport tools. It unzips to form a 62 x 33cm potting pot, to keep tabletop or bench clean while gardening. Finally, there’s a couple of sets of colourful garden stakes, in a choice of flower or veg designs, to mark out the child’s special patch in the garden.
In tune with consumer expectations, the range has been created with sustainability front of mind, with recycled and recyclable materials; sustainable materials like bamboo; and recyclable card packaging.
Family gardening as a category works hard across both gardening and gift environments. With the support of the online resource, and with RRPs ranging from just £4.99 up to £22.99, there’s something here to help every family have a positive, successful and creative gardening experience together.
