Burgon & Ball Flora & Fauna Gardening Gloves – RHS DesignFor the gardener who gardens with one ear always tuned to the birds, these are the gloves. The Flora & Fauna design is the most charming of all Burgon & Ball's RHS prints a delicate scattering of dainty songbirds among fine, fluttering foliage, the kind of scene you half see from the corner of your eye on a quiet morning in the borders.

For the gardener who gardens with one ear always tuned to the birds, these are the gloves. The Flora & Fauna design is the most charming of all Burgon & Ball's RHS prints — a delicate scattering of dainty songbirds among fine, fluttering foliage, the kind of scene you half-see from the corner of your eye on a quiet morning in the borders. It's a soft, elegant, gentle pattern, and a lovely thing to wear while you work.

The design has serious heritage behind it. The illustrations are elegant Chinese watercolours and hand-coloured engravings dating from 1819 to 1912, specially selected from the RHS Lindley Collections — one of the world's most significant horticultural archives. There's something quietly lovely about wearing nineteenth-century botanical and ornithological art to do the morning's deadheading, and something very fitting for any gardener who plants with the birds and the wider wildlife of the garden in mind.

From Burgon & Ball, the Sheffield toolmaker who've been making garden tools since 1730, in their RHS-endorsed "Gifts for Gardeners" collection. Supplied to us through our partners at AllotMate, who curate proper, well-made tools and equipment for gardeners and allotmenteers who'd rather buy once.

The design

Flora & Fauna is soft, elegant, and full of gentle character:

  • Dainty songbirds and delicate foliage — the most wildlife-minded of the RHS prints, a quiet celebration of the birds that share the garden
  • Elegant Chinese watercolours and hand-coloured engravings, dating from 1819 to 1912, from the RHS Lindley Collections
  • A soft, refined palette — gentle and timeless rather than bold, the kind of pattern that quietly delights every time you pick the gloves up
  • The whole effect is calm and characterful — the gloves of a gardener who notices the small, living details of their plot

Where British Bloom is dramatic and British Meadow is a wildflower scene, Flora & Fauna is the birds — the gentlest and most wildlife-led of the four RHS prints we stock.

What makes them work

The construction is identical to the rest of the RHS gift glove range — beautiful design backed by genuinely thoughtful working features:

  • Cushioned palm — proper protection for everyday garden work, reducing hand fatigue during longer sessions
  • Gathered wrist — close-fitting cuff that keeps soil, mulch and small debris from finding their way down your sleeve
  • Soft, tough fabric with a degree of stretch — genuinely soft to wear, yet hardwearing enough to take repeated use, and flexible for fiddly tasks like deadheading and tying
  • Snug, flexible fit — moves naturally with your hand rather than sliding around as you work
  • Machine-washable at 30°C — significantly more practical than most workwear gloves. Pop them in with the next wash and they come out fresh for next time

Sizing

These are a one-size women's fit, size 8.5 (around 21.5cm across the palm, with a length of about 23.5cm from fingertip to cuff) — equivalent to a UK women's medium. The stretch in the printed fabric means one size fits almost all; they suit average to slightly broader women's hands, and many smaller men's hands too.

If you have particularly small or particularly broad hands, the Briers range offers more precise fit options. But for most women's hands, the one-size fit here works comfortably.

As a gift

This pair makes a particularly thoughtful gift for the nature-loving gardener — the one who knows which birds visit the feeder and gardens to keep them coming. Particularly good for:

  • The bird-lover and wildlife gardener — the songbird design is a quiet acknowledgement of the gardener who plants for the birds as well as the bees
  • A gardener with soft, gentle taste — anyone who prefers the refined and understated to the bold and dramatic
  • Mother's Day, birthdays, Christmas — a distinctive, beautiful gift that feels considered rather than ordinary
  • A new or beginner gardener — lovely RHS-endorsed kit to start them off in style
  • Pair with a packet of wildlife- or pollinator-friendly seeds, or a bird-care treat, for a complete nature-minded gift

If you're choosing between the RHS gift gloves we stock — Flora & Fauna (songbirds, soft and gentle), British Meadow (wildflowers and butterflies on navy), British Bloom (dramatic dahlias and peonies) and Asteraceae (soft sage green) — pick by the recipient's taste. All are made to the same specification; the difference is purely in the design.

  • Fabric: Soft, tough, with a degree of stretch

Looking after them

  • Shake out and brush off visible soil before washing
  • Machine wash at 30°C
  • Air dry away from direct heat — the printed fabric will fade quickly under tumble dryers or strong sun
  • Avoid bleach or fabric softeners — both can damage the print and the stretch fabric
  • Store flat or hung gently rather than scrunched up

Treated this way, the print stays soft and clear and the gloves keep their lovely look for many seasons.

About Burgon & Ball and the RHS Lindley Collections

Burgon & Ball have been making garden tools in Sheffield since 1730, drawing on the city's centuries-old expertise in steel and craft. Their RHS-endorsed "Gifts for Gardeners" collection draws on the RHS Lindley Collections — one of the most significant horticultural libraries and archives in the world, containing thousands of botanical illustrations and historical garden materials. We're proud to stock pieces from this collaboration; using centuries-old botanical art to decorate practical garden kit is the kind of small cultural project that suits our shop exactly.

A small thought: the songbirds are the quiet company of every gardening morning — the robin that follows the fork for worms, the blackbird singing from the fence, the wren ticking away in the hedge. There's something rather lovely about gloves that carry a little of that company with them, a reminder that the garden was never really ours alone.

Incredible book!!
Format: Kindle
August 16, 2025 I confess that I have not yet read conversations 1,2 or 3 but this one caught my eye so I started reading. Very great book! I enjoyed the chapters on light and on giving, I really appreciate the candidness of Father God, it got me when he said “I’m not asking you to take care of EVERY homeless person… what I am asking you to do is to take care of one!” Father God then continued “if you take away one thing from this book… give to the homeless, buy them a meal, buy them a drink and give them some money. Ask them how their day is going today and just treat them like human beings! When you ignore them, it is like you are ignoring my son Jesus!” So good! I also love how father God said: “we are not asking you to do the impossible, just obey the commands and the teachings of my son Jesus, just be the light and love people” and I love how the Father delved into the details! I hope that this review helps and I’ll be reading 7 keys to be intimate with Jesus soon. Amen! Thank you Father & thank you Matthew Robert for writing this and God bless you sir if you read this review 👍🏿

State of the Art Book!
This book was recommended to me by my graduate school professor as being the most up-to-date, most inclusive book on trauma therapy that exists today, and that it is! First, it is written in an organized and coherent manner. It is extraordinarily well written and engaging which is amazing for a text of this type. It contains information on just about every subject that a beginning trauma therapist as well as a well-seasoned therapist would want to know! This is an incredible book and my only criticism is that, knowing how much I shall be referring to it, it is only a paperback and I wish it were a hardcover so that it will withstand the test of time in better condition. The price is extraordinarily reasonable when one considers the cost of most textbooks these days. I highly, highly recommend this book as a MUST read for every trauma therapist, or trauma therapist in training. I cannot say enough excellent things about the Briere and Scott text. Buy it. You will not regret it for a moment! In addition, after purchasing the DSM-V, I can say that although this book was written before the DSM-V came out, it dovetails with it extremely well, and is a perfect book to purchase after getting the new DSM-V if you don't already have Principles of Trauma Therapy. It is for anyone who is a mandated reporter also, as I am. Presently, I'm a doctoral candidate in Special Education, and find that this book will be helpful there as well. As a person who has worked directly in Special Education for over 11 years, and have had professional contact with Special Needs children for over thirty years, this book is a must--for anyone who works with children, teens, (or adults who have just disclosed trauma) whether you are in Psychology or Special Education, or any allied field that makes you a mandated reporter. The book is a MUST HAVE.

Excellent book for students trying to grasp PTSD
As a professor teaching post traumatic stress reaction to graduate and undergraduate students, I was looking for a book that hit the basics along with some key pieces regarding assessment, diagnostic criteria, and examples that highlighted some of the subtleties associated with complex trauma. This book is well organized and not too overwhelming for people new and beginning the field and a nice refresher for seasoned clinicians. Easy to read, clearly outlined to build upon each subject, I found it both a solid read, affordable, and made it a required read for my course. Please note that I purchased this book way back October 12, 2013 but only now getting to put my thoughts in writing.
