Gardening – Getting Started
Before you start anything make sure you have the right tools for the job. Tools by Sophie Conran for Burgon and Ball complete with gift box are the perfect treat to get you started or a great gift for any garden enthusiast.
Pots and Planters
Pots and planters are a great way to add instant colour and give an area of your garden a feel that it has had time spent on it. Choose large pots for big impact and smaller pots for bringing colour in different parts of your garden. Alternatively Choose a coloured or patterned pot and go for something more simple when planting it up to add interest and colour simultaneously.
