NEW IDEAS AND LATEST LAUNCHES FROM BURGON & BALL

Glee this year sees a wide variety of innovation from Burgon & Ball, creator of beautiful premium tools, accessories and gifts since 1730. With launches across Garden and Gift, there’s plenty of inspiration for every retailer.

Cutting-edge innovation

At the show Burgon & Ball will be unveiling an exciting new range of cutting tools that has been specifically developed to support gardeners with limited hand mobility or strength. The five-piece range is packed with ergonomic styling and clever design to amplify the user’s power, making cutting tasks easier. Of course, these tools aren’t exclusively for gardeners experiencing difficulties with gardening tasks – they’re for every gardener who wishes gardening could be a bit easier.

Gloves get serious

An exciting new collection of task-focused gardening gloves will be launched at Glee this year. Created to complement Burgon & Ball’s existing ranges of gloves, the new core range of six curated glove designs covers key gardening tasks - without information overload. With each glove offered in a range of sizes and a choice of patterns, this focused range stretches to a comprehensive 39 SKUs.

New Sophie Conran

This autumn the much-loved Sophie Conran for Burgon & Ball collection sees a whole new design collection of gardening accessories joining the line-up. Offering a fresh alternative to the hugely popular blue ticking stripe accessories, the new lines feature an elegant paisley pattern on an understated olive green. And as always with the Sophie Conran collection, the six-piece range has a timeless feel with contemporary touches for universal appeal.

An inside job

With indoor gardening still riding high in the best-sellers, this autumn sees a fresh new look for Burgon & Ball’s indoor gardening tools, with the launch of a contemporary new colourway. Chic new packaging has been designed to appeal in both Garden and softer Gift settings, with touches of gold foil to catch the shopper’s eye. The revamp is not just cosmetic; the autumn’s update sees two new lines join the line-up. 

A centenary celebration

Burgon & Ball is teaming up with the National Garden Scheme to help celebrate its centenary in 2027. The National Garden Scheme is one of the UK’s favourite gardening charities, with over £80 million raised for nursing and health charities. A new limited-edition five-piece range of favourite gifts will be on show at Glee. The range showcases a delightful hand-illustrated pattern depicting a quintessential British garden in a welcoming cottage setting. Teamed with the charity’s signature yellow, this charming gifting range has stand-out shelf presence.

Colourful favourites

By popular demand, there’ll be seven new additions to the top-selling Collector range. Since its launch this collection has seen terrific demand in both Gardening and Gift settings, with key lines simply flying off the shelves. The pick’n’mix colours and beautiful design details tempt shoppers to treat a special someone – or treat themselves! With seven new lines joining the line-up, Burgon & Ball is helping retailers meet shoppers’ appetite for this fresh, colourful take on garden tools and accessories.

A classic – but not as we know it

Glee this autumn also sees the launch of a new iteration of the perennially popular Kneelo® garden kneeler. The original memory foam garden kneeler, Kneelo has been a top-seller since its launch back in 2010. A design refresh in 2022 saw new colours, thicker foam and even more comfort. And now, new for 2027, there’s a new design joining the range in a choice of colour options, designed to extend the appeal of this classic range even further.

Marking milestones

A bright idea with the personal touch, a new collection of pick-up gifts sees warm messages etched onto favourite tools, selling at an attractive gifting price point – ideal for that ‘saw this and thought of you’ moment. Bringing further personalisation options, Burgon & Ball is also offering retails the option to add their own message or logo to the tool of their choice, perfect if a business has an anniversary or special event coming up.

With all this and more on offer, make sure you don’t miss out. Visit Burgon & Ball at Glee 2026 at Hall 20, Stand H10-J11.
