We’ve been spending much more time in the garden over the last few weeks. The perennial plants are beginning to send out shoots, and we’ve been digging up and relocating shrubs to better positions.
We could do with a couple of garden trugs to help carry out some of the jobs we’ve been doing. They can carry gloves, tools and packets of seeds and then, come summer and autumn, they can be used to carry deadheaded flowers and harvested fruit & veg.
The one I would ultimately choose is the mid-range Sussex trug; it’s the traditional type, made from bent birch ply, and is of generous proportions.
I do, however, love the Niwaki example. Made of stitched leather, it will just get better looking with age and use. The £249 price tag is a bit steep though.
- Gardener’s harvest basket: £35.98, Uncommon Goods
- Lidney Sussex Trug by Rowen & Wren: £78.00, NOTHS
- The Niwaki trug: £249.00, Niwaki
