Celebrate resilience and radiant colour in the garden with the RHS Asteraceae Gloves from Burgon & Ball – a stunning addition to the RHS Gifts for Gardeners collection. Whether you're a casual potterer or a daily digger, these gloves offer both performance and personality.
Inspired by the hardy beauty of the Asteraceae family – including China asters and coreopsis – this design showcases the vibrant blooms that thrive in the shifting seasons of today’s gardens. Set against a soft sage green background, the jewel-bright flowers pop with warmth and energy, while also nodding to their importance as pollinator plants in late summer and autumn gardens.
The illustrations date back to c.1810, hand-picked from the RHS Lindley Collections, lending heritage elegance to these everyday essentials. But the style doesn’t come at the cost of practicality.
Each glove features a cushioned palm for protection, a gathered wrist to block out debris, and soft yet tough fabric with built-in stretch. This gives you a snug, flexible fit for comfortable wear. And when the work’s done, you can pop them in the washing machine at 30°C to freshen them up for next time.
With a universal women’s fit (size 8.5), they make a charming and thoughtful gift – or the perfect upgrade for your own gardening gear.
Why We Love It at AllotMate Essentials:
We’re big fans of tools and accessories that are as beautiful as they are practical – and these gloves are a perfect example. The sage green base and vibrant blooms are stunning, but it’s the thoughtful design touches like the padded palm and gathered wrist that really win us over. They're a floral celebration of late-season colour that also happens to keep your hands clean and comfy.
