Sophie Conran Large Harvest Basket by Burgon & Ball (Grey)Some garden objects are purely practical, and some are a pleasure to own. This is firmly the second kind.

Some garden objects are purely practical, and some are a pleasure to own. This is firmly the second kind. The Sophie Conran Large Harvesting Basket — made by Burgon & Ball, the Sheffield toolmakers working in steel since 1730 — is the basket you'll find yourself reaching for not because you have to, but because using it makes the simple act of gathering from the garden feel just a little more considered.

It's the kind of piece that earns its place twice over: out in the kitchen garden gathering beans, courgettes, and the first tomatoes; and back indoors as a thing of quiet beauty — holding kindling by the stove, styled with seasonal blooms on a kitchen table, or simply hung on a hook waiting for the next harvest.

The design

Sophie Conran, of the well-known Conran British design dynasty, brings a contemporary country-house sensibility to the Burgon & Ball range. This basket is the result — a piece that manages to be both genuinely useful and genuinely lovely, which is harder to achieve than it sounds.

  • Powder-coated galvanised steel wire in a classic grey — strong, weather-resistant, and built to last years of outdoor use without rusting or losing its finish
  • Open-weave construction — the practical heart of the design. Soil shakes free and rainwater or washing-water drains straight through, so freshly picked produce and cut flowers don't sit in a puddle at the bottom
  • FSC-certified beech wood handle — gently contoured to sit comfortably in the hand, adding a warm, natural counterpoint to the cool grey steel
  • Brass seal engraved with the Sophie Conran for Burgon & Ball logo — a discreet mark of provenance and the finishing touch that signals this is the genuine article

Generously sized

This is the large basket in the range, measuring approximately 37cm long by 26cm wide by 30cm high including the handle. That's enough capacity to gather a proper harvest in one trip — an armful of cut flowers, a glut of runner beans, a row's worth of potatoes, or enough salad and veg for a household rather than a single meal. If you have a smaller plot or want something for lighter picking, Burgon & Ball also make a small version of the same design.

What you'll use it for

  • Harvesting vegetables — beans, courgettes, tomatoes, potatoes, squash, the daily pickings of a productive kitchen garden
  • Cutting flowers — the open weave is ideal for a cutting garden, letting stems breathe and any water drain as you gather dahlias, sweet peas, and cosmos for the house
  • Collecting eggs — for those with hens, the basket is a classic egg-gathering size and shape
  • Carrying tools — trowel, twine, snips, and gloves all travel neatly from shed to plot
  • Indoor styling — kindling by the fire, a centrepiece of seasonal stems, or simply a beautiful object on a dresser or worktop

Made by Burgon & Ball

Burgon & Ball have been making fine garden tools in Sheffield since 1730 — nearly three centuries of metalworking heritage. Today they're endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society and known worldwide for the quality and longevity of their tools and accessories. A Sophie Conran piece carrying the Burgon & Ball name is about as well-credentialled as garden kit gets: thoughtful British design, made by one of the country's most respected toolmakers.

A note on care

The powder-coated steel needs little attention — rinse off soil after use and let it dry, and it will look its best for years. The beech handle benefits from being kept out of prolonged wet; an occasional wipe with a little linseed oil keeps the wood nourished and handsome over time. Store under cover when not in use to protect the handle, and the basket will become one of those garden objects that simply gets better with age and use.

Specifications

  • Dimensions: approximately 37cm long × 26cm wide × 30cm high (including handle)
  • Basket material: powder-coated galvanised steel wire, classic grey
  • Handle: FSC-certified beech wood, contoured

A genuinely lovely gift for a keen gardener — the kind of present that's used and enjoyed for years rather than tucked away in a cupboard. The combination of the Sophie Conran name, the Burgon & Ball heritage, and the obvious everyday usefulness makes it an easy choice for a milestone birthday, a house-warming, or a thank-you to someone who has everything except, perhaps, the perfect harvest basket.

Awesome, but not the best squeakers.
Color: Purple
I bought the orange gecko for my 5-month-old Corgi puppy. He absolutely loves it. He came up with a "game" (sort of) where if I pick it up and start squeaking one of the ends/squeakers really quickly over and over, he'll grab the other end/squeaker and start doing the same thing with me. It was really cute until one of the squeakers stopped working about a week after I bought it... but I guess the toy wasn't too expensive, and he doesn't really seem to mind that one of the squeakers doesn't work anymore. I might buy another next time I do an Amazon order (so I can get the free shipping) and see if it lasts a little longer.

Great Toy For a Great Price
Color: Purple
My Aussie loves toys and plays with them as though she is a small child. She has a basket and will go to the basket and dig through it until she finds what she is looking for. Lately she has been using the bungee gecko as her toy of choice. She gets bored easily and will rip the stuffing out of most toys, the fact that this one has lasted 6 weeks or so is impressive with no rips, holes or missing limbs. Her favorite way to play is to come over to me and nudge me to play tug of war and we have broke many toys this way but so far we can play tug a war several minutes at a time and the gecko is still in one piece. For the price which is considerable less than some of her other toys I have already ordered a couple of replacements for the future. This is a great well built dog toy that has has a lot of give and can be stretched without ripping.

No longer as durable
Color: Purple
I have one of these that has made it through 2 dogs but now the bungee is stretched out. It's been such a well loved toy I recently got another one. They've changed the plush fabric. The old one was indestructible. This new one is much thinner and easily torn. I wish they would go back to the old plush fabric.

Great Toy!
Color: Orange
This has been a great toy for our 11 week old German Shepherd. She absolutely loves it. I can get out all of her toys and lay them out with the exception of her "Lizzy" and she will immediately go to her toy bin and get it herself. Needless to say it is her favorite toy. She has had it a week now and she plays with it a lot, chewing and squeaking. It's a pretty amazing toy to have held up this long already and to date shows no sign of wear or damage. Lizzy just keeps going and going.
