Description
This set of thirty gardener's plasters comes in a small rectangular metal tin, so a fresh one is always to hand when a thorn or a trowel catches you out. The plasters carry the Meadow Breeze design, a soft repeat of pink and peach butterflies on a pale cream ground. They come in three shapes: neat squares for knuckles and palms, plus a shorter and a longer strip for fingers. The lid has its own illustration, a woman in a long pink dress and sunhat reaching up to pick red flowers from a climbing stem, a basket of blooms on her arm, with two little blue birds and a butterfly in the air and the words Gardener's Plasters set in an oval label.
The tin is 10.3cm long, 7.3cm wide and 2.1cm deep. It is small enough to live on a shelf in the shed or beside the potting bench, and slim enough to slip into a tool bag, coat pocket or handbag for a day at the allotment. It is just as useful in a kitchen drawer or the car glovebox. The printed lid is easy to spot among seed packets and twine, and its cheerful garden scene raises a smile every time it comes off.
The tin is metal with a lift-off lid, which keeps the plasters together rather than loose in a pocket. Each plaster is made of PE plastic and foam with an acrylic adhesive. They are latex free, which matters to anyone who avoids latex. To keep the tin looking its best, wipe it with a damp cloth, dry it well and store it somewhere dry between uses. Once the plasters are used up, the tin makes a handy home for seeds, plant labels or garden ties. We think it is a small, useful thing to tuck into a gardening present, or simply to keep by the back door.
