Cotswold Creators - Greeting cards

£20.00 Save £-20.00

A set of six unique greeting cards designed by Cotswold artist Tracey Elphick.

Genus is very much a Cotswold company.  We live and garden here and we love this beautiful area of England.  Over the next few months, we are introducing a range of gift products and accessories made by artists and craftspeople living and working in the Cotswolds.

The first is a range of six greeting cards featuring specially commissioned paintings from Cirencester artist Tracey Elphick.  The paintings are of our very favourite perennial plants, spanning each of the principal points of the colour wheel:

Blue: Delphinium 'Black Knight'
Violet: Salvia superba 'Violet Queen'
Red: Geum flora-plena 'Blazing Sunset'
Orange: Erysimum 'Fire King'
Yellow: Rudbeckia fulgida 'Goldsturm'
Green: Euphoria lathyris

The cards are blank so you can write your own message and the pack of six Greeting Cards with envelopes costs £20.  

Size: 7" x 5" with 120gsm white envelopes

About Tracey Elphick:

Tracey paints landscapes of familiar scenes – local streets, harbours and seascapes – places that hold a great deal of visual interest with plenty of structure, colour, shape and form.  Increasingly she is applying her unique style to still life subjects and the flora and fauna she sees around her in the Cotswold countryside.

Fascinated by the opportunities of mixed media, Tracey builds up layers of acrylic, ink, and collage, applying these with anything from sponges, rags, even fingers; scraping into wet paint, spraying, splashing and using quick spontaneous marks to help give a feeling of movement and harmony.

Formally trained in Fine Art from Falmouth Art College in Cornwall, England, Tracey now paints full time from her studio in the Cotswolds.  She has exhibited widely across the region

These six representations of perennial plants, spanning the colour wheel, have been specially commissioned by Genus.

Secateurs

£80.00 Save £-80.00

The design of these traditional Japanese secateurs, with their unique tapered bolt and positive spring action, has been honed over centuries to give you the highest level of performance, durability and comfort.

The Sokan brand is the oldest brand of secateurs in Japan. 200 years ago, Mr Sokan was a blacksmith making swords, and in 1870 the company produced the first ever pair of secateurs in Japan.

The tool is hot forged from high carbon steel and ground by hand. Japanese secateurs are made from only two pieces of metal, with the blade and handle forming one piece. This gives a stronger tool and better balance than European secateurs where the blade is welded to the handle.

The two sides of the secateur are bolted together and it is the integrity of this bolt that gives the secateurs their distinctive cut. These Sokan secateurs use a tapered bolt which gets thicker towards the head. As the craftsman forces the bolt into the holes, the metal of the bolt begins to unify with the metal of the handle/blade. So, the bolt never needs tightening.

Packed in a distinctive box, these secateurs are a great gift for any passionate gardener, or a wonderful treat for yourself.

Replacement springs are available. Please call to order.

Hori Hori Knife

£40.00 Save £-40.00

Often described as the world’s best gardening tool, the hori hori knife will astound you with its extraordinary versatility.  Hori hori means dig-dig in Japanese, and the tool was originally used by bonsai enthusiasts to collect specimens.

Described by Saga magazine as an “object of desire”, the hori hori knife is taking the gardening world by storm.

The hori hori knife is light but incredibly strong. The stainless steel blade is straight with a shallow scoop, rather like trowel. It is razor sharp and serrated on one side, and along its length, there are calibration marks in inches and centimetres. The black moulded handle is ergonomically designed to give an amazingly comfortable grip. It also comes with a plastic sheath and belt holder. Our 3-Season and All Weather Gardening trousers have been designed so that the hori hori knife fits perfectly and in absolute safety and comfort into one of the stab-proof pockets.

A clever sock system that will keep your feet comfortable throughout the year..
  • Two separate socks for maximum temperature control
  • Merino wool for warmth and a soft feel
  • Wicking
  • Stretch so no slipping or bunching

      The 4-Season Sock system is comprised of two socks: an inner and an outer layer. Each layer can be worn separately or together for maximum warmth, making it the perfect solution for all weathers throughout the year.
