Burgon & Ball - RHS Flora & Fauna Gauntlet Gloves – Designer Extended-Cuff Protection
The RHS Flora and Fauna Gauntlet Gloves by Burgon & Ball combine professional-grade durability with iconic botanical design. These high-performance gauntlets feature a deep-cuff construction, providing extended protection for the wrists and forearms when working among thorny shrubs or dense foliage. The palms are engineered with a specialized polyurethane-polyester blend and integrated cushioning to ensure a comfortable grip and superior abrasion resistance. Crafted from a flexible, stretch-fit fabric, these gloves include a gathered wrist to seal out garden debris and soil. Adorned with delicate songbirds and foliage from the Royal Horticultural Society’s Lindley Collections, these hardwearing gauntlets offer a sophisticated solution for gardeners who require both aesthetic elegance and robust hand protection.
Best For: Pruning thorny roses and shrubs, clearing dense garden borders, high-precision horticultural tasks, and as a premium gift for garden enthusiasts who value both style and functionality.
Key Features
- Extended Forearm Coverage: The 35.5cm gauntlet length provides a deep protective cuff, shielding the forearms from scratches, stings, and thorns while reaching into overgrown garden beds.
- Cushioned High-Traction Palms: Features a reinforced, cushioned palm section to absorb vibration and pressure, ensuring comfort during intensive manual tasks like digging or pruning.
- RHS Lindley Collections Design: Showcases an elegant "Flora and Fauna" pattern featuring Chinese watercolours and hand-coloured engravings from the 19th century, specially selected from the Royal Horticultural Society’s archives.
- Debris-Shield Gathered Wrist: Designed with a gathered elasticated wrist that creates a snug seal, preventing mulch, dirt, and insects from falling inside the glove.
- Easy-Care Machine Washable: Engineered for practical longevity, these tough gloves are machine washable at 30°C, allowing them to be easily restored after heavy use in the soil.

Oversized Item Delivery Options
Oversized, heavy, and structural goods ship via specialist freight. Freight is calculated at checkout from estimated packaged volumetric or physical weight. Carrier depot audits may adjust the rate — if the increase exceeds 10%, we will contact you before processing.
Available options include:
✔ Delivery to your closest depot for pickup — default method
✔ Direct delivery — requires an operational forklift on site unless Tailgate Delivery has been specifically requested and quoted (contact us — this cannot be selected at checkout)
✔ Tailgate hydraulic lift delivery — must be specifically requested; contact us for a quote (not available as a checkout option; extra fees apply; required if you do not have a forklift)
✔ Forklift loading at our warehouse (no extra charge if you arrange your own freight)
✔ Direct truck delivery (available in Victoria)
Important Notes:
- Shipping costs vary by location and method
- Any carton or consignment over 25–30kg (or over 200cm) must be palletised
- Without a specifically requested and paid Tailgate Delivery quote, palletised freight requires a forklift on site — otherwise the carrier will redirect to the nearest depot
- Bulky and oversized items cannot be delivered to a PO Box — provide a physical street address
- Failed deliveries, locked gates, unattended sites, or incorrect business/forklift declarations may incur carrier redelivery, demurrage, and restocking fees as set out in our Terms & Conditions
Business Delivery:
- Selecting a business/commercial delivery rate warrants that the address has an operational forklift and certified operator during business hours
- If the carrier cannot unload, the consignment may be redirected to a depot and secondary fees may apply
- Additional fees may apply for failed delivery attempts due to lack of appropriate unloading equipment
See our Terms & Conditions (Article 8) for full freight and delivery rules.
Important Note on Availability & Shipping
Our warehouse is a logistics hub, not a retail showroom. Listing a product online does not mean it is stored at our Thomastown warehouse — many lines ship from supplier hubs (split fulfilment may apply).
How lead times work:
- Product page ETA: The Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) / lead-time badge shown on the product page at checkout is the agreed delivery timeframe for that order under Australian Consumer Law.
- Metro baselines: Advertised ETAs apply to standard metropolitan zones. Regional and remote addresses may take longer and may attract surcharges.
- Peak seasons: Orders in March–May, August–October, EOFY (June), Black Friday/Cyber Monday (November), and Christmas/New Year (December–January) may automatically add a 2–4 week buffer beyond the product page ETA.
- Supplier-dependent / backordered items: If stock is delayed, we will notify you with a revised ETA. You then have 7 days to accept the new timeframe or cancel for a full refund.
- Adloheat: Custom-made products from Adloheat (Pakenham, VIC) may take 4–12 weeks depending on the order.
Full fulfilment, cancellation, and freight rules are in our Terms & Conditions.
