Every gardener needs a good garden brush or two, don't they? From compost spills, to hedge clippings, to autumn leaves, there's always something that needs clearing up.
We've heard it said that everyday things done well are a joy to find, and we thought gardeners would probably enjoy a range of good quality garden brushes and brooms at accessible prices. So this summer we're introducing our new collection of RHS-endorsed garden brushes.
Consisting of sweeping brushes with heads up to 18 inches (45cm) in width as well as small hand brushes, the collection gives options for all kinds of cleaning and clearing jobs around the garden, shed and greenhouse.
Across the range, these garden brushes feature denser bristles than many alternatives, offering superior sweeping performance. FSC®-certified hardwood with a protective wax finish ensures a long life. All brushes carry RHS endorsement and are backed by a two-year guarantee against manufacturing defects.
What’s more, the range has been created with sustainability in mind. There’s a wide choice of brushes with natural fibres, and the plastic elements are easily recyclable in kerbside collections or are made using recycled content. The production and transport options have been selected for their reduced carbon footprint, too.
What's in the range?
In the larger garden brushes, the range starts with a 9-inch (24cm) deck and scrubbing brush with natural bassine* fibres. In the 12-inch (30cm) width, there’s a choice of fibres - stiff synthetic fibres for sweeping coarser materials; natural bassine for general sweeping of all outdoor areas; or soft synthetic fibres for sweeping finer material on smoother surfaces. Both stiff and soft synthetic fibres are made from 100 per cent recycled material. The large brush line-up is completed by an 18-inch (45cm) natural bassine brush, ideal for fast sweeping of larger areas.
In hand brushes, there’s a hand scrubbing brush with natural bassine bristles, suitable for patios, garden furniture, pots and other garden items. A hand sweeping brush, again with natural bassine bristles, is useful for general sweeping of all surfaces in the garden, shed or greenhouse. Finally, a heavy-duty large dustpan and brush is ideal for collecting garden debris. The polypropylene dustpan contains 50 per cent recycled material and is also easily recyclable at the end of its life. The companion brush features soft bristles in 100 per cent recycled PVC.
With RRPs from £5.99 to £18.99, these hope these traditional-style garden brushes will hit the mark with gardeners wanting a straightforward yet elegant solution to the universal and constant requirement of tidying up.
* Bassine is a natural fibre made from the leaves of the palmyra palm
