I have started the new gardening season off with using the National Trust garden fork by Burgon and Ball and what a treat it is. This stylish vintage-looking high-carbon steel garden fork is solid and robust. I am smitten with the textured powder coating which adorns the fork shaft; from an aesthetics point-of-view it provides a highly attractive antique bronze look, never mind the practicalities that it actually protects against corrosion.

Foxgloves are the epitome of English country gardens.

I was invited to write this article for Fagus Gardening Club's Fagus Times issue No 15. Discover the diverse world of foxgloves.
