Asteraceae Herb Set

This beautiful set of snip and herb stripper makes a lovely gift for a gardener or keen cook.

The snip has razor-sharp blades that are perfect for precision work like deadheading, harvesting herbs and pinching out annuals. The handy herb stripper makes it simple to harvest lots of fresh, fragrant herb leaves. Just cut a stem from your plant and pop the end of the stem through the appropriately sized hole. Pull the stem through to easily remove the leaves, ready for use.

The pretty keepsake storage tin also features the lovely Asteraceae pattern. Designed to be re-used to minimise waste, it’s sure to find lots of uses around home and garden.

A beautiful new collection in the RHS Gifts for Gardeners series, the ‘Asteraceae’ design showcases blooms from the daisy family. These resilient flowers have a starring role to play in our gardens as summers last longer and autumns become warmer. They keep the colour going in a longer season, and also offer an important source of forage for pollinators when other flowers fade.

The elegant new design has been created by Burgon & Ball featuring illustrations dating illustrations dating from circa 1810, specially selected from the RHS Lindley Collections of historic botanical art. A soft sage green background is the perfect foil for the jewel-bright colours of the China aster and coreopsis.
