Burgon & Ball at RHS Chelsea 2026

This May in its twenty-ninth year at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, Burgon & Ball will be throwing a spotlight on the colour and creativity of gardening. As a creator of beautiful garden tools and accessories since 1730, Burgon & Ball’s exhibit at the world’s most famous flower show will highlight the artistic side of gardening.

Artist’s palettes, an easel, and mounds of vibrant flowers will feature, conjuring a joyful and creative feel to reflect the way gardeners use colour in their gardens. The display aims to inspire the thousands of keen gardeners thronging the show.

The stand will once again be located on Main Avenue, in among the show gardens. Burgon & Ball tools are the only garden tools to carry the prized RHS endorsement. These two respected names in gardening have worked closely together since 2012, with many tools designed in collaboration and tested in the RHS gardens.

Rainer Schubert, MD at Burgon & Ball, comments: “The RHS Chelsea Flower Show is a fantastic occasion for us to highlight our longstanding collaboration with the RHS, with some gardeners perhaps experiencing our brand for the first time.”

He continues: “It’s also a unique way to engage with the gardeners who use and love our tools. In fact, our fluorescent RHS-endorsed FloraBrite collection was inspired by Chelsea visitors asking for unlosable tools. The show is a great source of ideas from real gardeners.”

Stand visitors this year will be able to explore a variety of ranges, including the new RHS-endorsed BoronGreen tools. The unique proposition of this collection is that it combines superior performance thanks to its use of boron steel, combined with impressive sustainability credentials.

Also at the show, visitors will be able to see selected items from the new design collection in the much-loved RHS Gifts for Gardeners series, ‘Woodland Wonders’. The 12-piece new collection takes inspiration from the growing love for natural woodlands and for woodland gardens, which are sure to feature at the show.

Plus of course Burgon & Ball’s flagship ranges of stainless steel and cutting tools will be featured, as will FloraBrite tools, Kneelo® kneelers, children’s tools, indoor gardening, indoor watering, gardening gifts and the very handy Essential Tools collection of planting and propagation sundries. The breadth of Burgon & Ball’s ranges, together with the exciting new launches, are sure to create a buzz with the Chelsea crowds.

Burgon & Ball will be on Main Avenue at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, Stand CW/310.
