New BoronGreen® tools: revolution, not evolution
New BoronGreen® tools: revolution, not evolution

Burgon & Ball has launched BoronGreen®, a major new RHS-endorsed tool range that marks a revolution in gardening tools. 

The patent-pending BoronGreen range offers the strength and durability of boron steel, coupled with ambitious sustainability credentials - including 80% recycled steel. It’s believed that this unique combination marks a first in UK garden tools.

The addition of the element boron to carbon steel creates a new level of performance. This composition of steel has long been used in cars and farm equipment to deliver stronger structures and longer-lasting wear parts. And now in gardening tools, boron steel offers performance above and beyond that of a like-for-like tool in carbon steel.

Advanced performance isn’t BoronGreen’s sole attraction. The range also holds great appeal for today’s environmentally-aware gardeners, thanks to Burgon & Ball’s thoughtful approach to sustainability.

Uniquely, the steel used in the tool heads is made from 80 per cent recycled material, believed to be a first in UK gardening tools. In addition, the handles and shafts are crafted in FSC-certified white ash wood, sourced from sustainably managed forests.

All this is combined with Burgon & Ball’s hallmark considered design. There’s a tough powder coating in dark green to protect the steel, and a visible sharpened edge on spade, trowel, etc. The FSC®-certified white ash is selected for its strength and shock-absorbing properties, and the grip is carefully thermo-treated for increased durability and moisture resistance.

The comprehensive BoronGreen range consists of 17 key items across large tools and hand tools. All tools in the range carry a 25-year guarantee. The new tools join Burgon & Ball’s flagship collection of RHS-endorsed tools, the only garden tools to carry endorsement from the Royal Horticultural Society. 

With RRPs ranging from just £8.99 up to £32.99, the new BoronGreen range offers accessible pricing, coupled with superior benefits over traditional carbon tools. Add in its unique environmental credentials, and BoronGreen offers gardeners something truly special: a real revolution in gardening tools.
