You didn’t think we’d stop at Niwaki Camo, did you? Oh no. If you received a copy of the 2026 Niwaki Catalogue (order yours here), you'll know there's plenty more where that came from (i.e. Japan, via Semley).
Think lightweight layers for leisurely strolls, new Tobisho x Niwaki garden tools, a trio of unusual Japanese seeds, and – just to top it all off – a selection of jaw-dropping Damascus knives, along with an equally practical (if slightly less glamorous) Kitchen Clean Mate.
Discover the full collection, then settle in for some reading as we head to the Eden Project for Road to Chelsea: Part Two.

Drop forged and finished by hand, Tobisho steel is considered some of the best in the business. Niwaki founder Jake first visited the family factory in 2006, and to celebrate their decades-long friendship, the two have collaborated on a collection of secateurs, snips and clippers - with our name stamped proudly by their side.

Road to Chelsea 2026: Dispatch 2 with Harry Holding
|
|
The RHS Chelsea Flower Show is now just a handful of days away – but back in early April, we caught up with Harry Holding, the gardener behind this year’s The Eden Project: Bring Me Sunshine Garden, to see how preparations were going. This year’s theme is regeneration, focusing on the future of the Eden Project’s Morecambe site on the Lancashire coast, and offering some exciting clues as to what the finished project will look like. Dig in to learn more about Harry’s journey, his approach to gardening, and what lies in store for him (and the garden) after Chelsea.
