Burgon & Ball Watering Can
We’ve been making shears in Sheffield, England, since 1730. With such a long history, it’s difficult to pick out the highlights! In 1865 James Ball patents a manufacturing process for the production of solid steel sheep shears. The design uses the best cast steel rather than the more usual iron blades of the time.
Many many years later as we expanded the offering into gardening Burgon & Ball stainless tools are officially endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society – possibly the ultimate accolade in the gardening industry.
