The bark is left on the willow here, so each trug comes out a different mix of light and dark. It is woven long and shallow, unlined, with a fixed arched handle. Medium and large are sold singly or as a set of both.

Unlined is the point: knock the trug out over a bed, brush it down, and the soil goes back where it came from. Use it for cutting flowers, lifting vegetables, carrying kindling or keeping hand tools together. The large takes long stems; the medium suits shorter cuts and herbs.

• Full unpeeled willow, no lining fitted
• Two sizes at 44 x 27 x 9 cm and 51 x 34 x 12 cm
• 400 g and 500 g

• Cutting flowers, lifting vegetables, carrying kindling, holding hand tools

Please be aware, colours may vary slightly as our products are made from natural materials.

The process of basket weaving with willow is naturally sustainable due to the relatively quick growth of the plant fibres. The artisans use traditional weaving methods and techniques to create highly decorative, yet durable, pieces.

FAQs

Why is there no lining in these?

Because they are meant to take soil. An unlined trug can be knocked out over a bed and brushed down, where a lined one holds damp earth in the cloth. Our oval and rectangular trugs are hessian lined if you would rather have the layer.

How does this compare with your double-steamed trug?

This one is unpeeled, at 44 and 51 cm long. The Wicker Garden Trug is double-steamed willow and runs longer, 56 and 61 cm, and a little deeper on the bigger size at 13 cm against 12 cm.

Which size takes long-stemmed flowers?

The large, at 51 cm along the base. Dahlias, sweet peas and long roses lie flat in it without their stems folding against an end. The 44 cm medium suits shorter cuts and herbs.

What finish is the willow exactly?

Unpeeled, with the bark left on, which is what gives each trug its own mix of light and dark. Ask us if you want the finish confirmed on a particular size before you order.
