Perfect for harvesting, this garden trug is made from reclaimed wood: plywood, pallet, birch or willow. We love this item – as it is a sustainable way to group together all your ripe veggies, ready for picking!

Customer review: "This is a brilliant, dinky trug just the right size for perching on the edges of my raised beds. Trugs are traditionally longer, and thinner and find them a bit unwieldy around my plant containers but this one is so handy. I love it. I was using it within 10 minutes of receiving it, once I’d screwed on the handle - lovely to see good old pencil lines. Thank you."
