April 29, 2009 - PRLog -- GARDEN CREATE YOUR OWN AWARD-WINNING WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM THE HANDPICKED COLLECTION

       

It might be the Chelsea Flower Show this month, but you don’t need to be an award-winning designer to have a beautiful garden. The Handpicked Collection has a range of gorgeous and handy garden gift ideas and accessories to help keep your garden in shape, ensuring your neighbours will be peeking over the fence in envy.

Protect your clothes by donning the tough but good-looking Short Canvas & Nubuck Garden Apron (£29.95) and keep your arms scratch free with the Bradley’s Pruning Gauntlets (£31.95) or Anti-Bramble Gauntlets (£37.95). When working on your borders avoid dead knees with the cotton/nubuck Kneeling Pad with Pocket (£24.95). And if May turns out to be wet, you don’t need to neglect the garden if you have the Gold Leaf Dry-Touch Gardening Gloves (£16.95) made with high quality leather for manual dexterity but fully-lined and water-resistant to keep you dry and protected.

Get your seedlings going with the Paper Potter (£9.95), an ingenious device that creates bio-degradable seeding pots from old newspaper, and keep your string to hand with the wooden String on a Stand (£10.95) with a cutter in the top of the handle. If you’ve got a big day ahead in the garden, load your tools up in the Portable Garden Stool & Tool Carrier (£16.95) which is the perfect height to perch on whilst weeding or planting, or even just to rest weary legs. And if you have a patio or any kind of garden stonework you’ll know how hard it is to keep clean, so the fantastic long-handed Miracle Block Paving Brush (£11.95) will do the hard work for you with its three rows of converging, tough wire bristles.

Once your garden is looking beautiful, admire it from the comfort of a chic Thornback & Peel Deckchair (£109.95) or collapse on a Ginormous Garden Pillow (£119.95). If you are not happy with what you see, flick through Top Tips from Gardener’s World (£9.99) for some ideas on how to improve it. Or if you’ve got any energy left, get the family rivalries going with one of the garden games including Badminton for Four from Jaques London (£37.95), French Boules (£12.95), wooden Policeman Skittles (£38.95) or Children’s Croquet (£14.95).
