The mild weather has fortunately arrived in many places, and for many it means the start of a new gardening season with soil under the fingernails, pots to be planted up, and small projects on the patio or balcony. Maybe you’re already underway, and maybe you’ve also discovered that there’s just a tool or two you’re missing.

We have therefore included some lovely new items from the English company Burgon & Ball in this newsletter. These are tools with both function and charm, which are a pleasure to work with, and which you won’t mind leaving out. Whether you’re planting in pots and beds or getting started with sowing, the right tools can make everything a little easier and a little cozier 🌼

A gardening apron might not be the first thing that comes to mind, but it’s actually incredibly practical when you get started on the season’s small garden projects. It’s nice to have pruning shears, your phone, and small items right at hand, and at the same time it’s a great help when you want to spare your clothes a bit.

Among other things, we have gardening aprons from Sophie Conran and ELDgarden, and there are several models to choose from. What they have in common is that they combine function, good pockets, and durable materials, which make them nice to use in everyday life 🍀

A really good kneeling pad is something you quickly come to appreciate when working in the garden. It protects both knees and clothing when you need to weed, plant, or tend to pots, and simply makes it much more comfortable to work close to the ground.

In our opinion, the kneeling pads from Burgon & Ball are among the best you can get. They are thick, comfortable, and really pleasant to use, both in the garden and as a seat pad on the terrace, for picnics, festivals, or other trips out into the open air 🚗
