Burgon & Ball RHS Gift Gloves – Heritage Botanical Art Meets Modern Protection

The RHS Gifts for Gardeners collection brings together world-class botanical history and high-performance garden wear. These gloves feature iconic illustrations from the RHS Lindley Collections, dating as far back as 1810. Beyond their striking aesthetic, these gloves are built for serious work, combining a soft, flexible feel with a hardwearing construction that protects hands during a variety of garden tasks. Whether you choose the pollinator-friendly 'Asteraceae,' the wildflower-inspired 'British Meadow,' or the vibrant 'Flora & Fauna,' you are wearing a piece of horticultural history.

Best For: Gardeners who appreciate historic botanical art and require a comfortable, all-purpose glove that offers both protection and a flexible, "one-size-fits-most" fit.

• Cushioned Palm Protection: The palms are engineered with a durable blend of polyurethane and polyester to provide extra padding against tool friction and light thorns.
• Debris-Proof Gathered Wrist: Designed with a gathered elasticated wrist to ensure a snug fit, effectively preventing soil, mulch, and grit from falling inside.
• Superior Dexterity: The polyester and elastane-blend backs provide a comfortable stretch, allowing for the fine motor control needed for weeding and seed handling.
• Machine Washable: Designed for easy care; simply wash at 30°C to keep the vibrant prints looking like new after a day in the dirt.

Oversized Item Delivery Options

Since oversized items require special handling, we may need to provide a custom freight quote for your order and will contact you with an updated shipping rate.

Available options include:

✔ Delivery to your closest depot for pickup - default method
✔ Direct delivery - requires forklift on site
✔ Direct delivery with tailgate lift truck (extra fees apply)
✔ 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
• Because of the forklift requirement, delivery to the nearest depot is the default option and will be the method used unless you contact us to request otherwise.
• Bulky and oversized items cannot be delivered to a PO Box - please provide a physical street address for delivery.

Business Delivery:

• Business delivery is available for commercial customers only
• If you select business delivery and your products are bulky, it is your responsibility to ensure you have appropriate equipment (including forklifts) to unload products from the delivery truck

• Additional fees may apply for failed delivery attempts due to lack of appropriate unloading equipment

Let us know your preference, and we'll arrange the best solution for you!

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse serves as our office and logistics centre rather than a retail showroom. Because we ship from multiple locations and manage high-turnover stock, not all items are available for immediate pickup.

Lead Times:

• In-Stock Items: Usually ready for dispatch the same day.
• Supplier-Dependent Items: Usually take 2–8 weeks to arrive, depending on supplier availability. Products from Adloheat may take 4–12 weeks depending on the order—they are custom made to order in Pakenham, VIC.

While we strive for fast delivery, some timelines are subject to supplier availability and are beyond our control. We appreciate your patience as we source the best quality gear for your project.

Biosecurity & Interstate Shipping Restrictions

Due to strict state biosecurity regulations, we are unable to ship some products to certain states and territories:

• Potting Mixes cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA), the Northern Territory (NT), or Tasmania (TAS).
• Seeds cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA).

Orders placed for these items to restricted states will be cancelled and refunded. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the items being ordered can lawfully be delivered to their state or territory.
