For gardeners who value quality, craftsmanship, and sustainability, the Burgon & Ball RHS Hand Sweeping Brush delivers all three in a simple and beautifully made design. Created in partnership with the Royal Horticultural Society, this brush combines heritage charm with practical performance.
The brush is compact, well balanced, and designed for everyday use around the garden. Its densely packed bassine bristles are made from natural plant fibres that hold their shape, giving firm control when sweeping away compost, soil, or dry leaves. Whether you are cleaning your potting bench, greenhouse shelves, or patio table, each sweep feels steady and satisfying.
The handle is made from responsibly sourced FSC certified wood, chosen for its durability and smooth finish. It sits comfortably in the hand and is shaped for a natural grip, allowing for longer use without strain. Each handle shows its own grain and tone, giving every brush a quiet individuality. The combination of sustainable materials and timeless form gives it an authenticity that feels increasingly rare.
Burgon & Ball has been crafting high quality garden tools in Sheffield since 1730, and this brush proudly continues that legacy. It reflects the brand’s belief that the smallest tools can make the biggest difference when made with care. Every detail has been considered, from the bristle density to the balance of the handle, so it performs reliably season after season.
More than just a cleaning brush, it’s a tool that becomes part of a gardener’s routine. It helps you finish the day’s work neatly, keeping your space ready for the next round of planting or potting. This is one of those small but lasting pleasures — a piece of traditional design that proves why well-made tools never go out of style.
