Wildflower season in Western Australia runs roughly August to October, and gardens here do most of their real work in the same window.

Burgon & Ball, the English maker with a Royal Horticultural Society licence, for tools that outlast the person using them. Sprout, Second Skin and Rhino Gloves for hands. Urban Greens and Seed & Sow for seed kits, including ones that make good gifts for people without much space. Plant Runner for feeding and cleaning what's already growing. Martha's Vineyard for clogs and kneelers. Kip & Co and Diesel & Dutch for the pots and pieces that make a garden look tended rather than just planted.

Merchants stocks the full range in store.
