There's something about a proper garden trug that makes even the simplest tasks feel a little more special. The Highgrove sits in your hand with that satisfying weight of quality craftsmanship—unpeeled willow woven by skilled hands, each strand telling its own story of hedgerows and heritage.
Product Story
∨
Picture yourself on a dewy spring morning, secateurs in one hand, trug in the other, moving quietly between your vegetable beds. The Highgrove becomes part of your rhythm—resting on your hip as you snip runner beans, cradling freshly pulled carrots still wearing their soil, gathering handfuls of sweet peas before the sun gets too high.
What makes this trug special isn't just the weave or the willow—it's how it fits into the gentle routines of country living. That moment when you set it down on the kitchen table, still fragrant with garden earth and morning air. The way it holds its shape year after year, the willow darkening to a rich honey tone, each mark and patina telling the story of seasons past.
Use it for morning harvests in your cottage garden, gathering cut flowers for the kitchen table, carrying tools and twine between borders, collecting windfall apples in autumn, or storing seed packets and garden gloves in your potting shed. This is the kind of piece that earns its place—quietly, beautifully, season after season.

Frequently Asked Questions
›
Is unpeeled willow suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, unpeeled willow is naturally weather-resistant and perfect for garden use. While it will develop a beautiful patina over time, avoid leaving it in prolonged rain or damp conditions to extend its life.
Which size should I choose?
Small is perfect for herbs and hand tools, Medium suits most vegetable harvesting and flower gathering, Large handles bigger jobs like root vegetables or armfuls of cut flowers. The Set of 3 gives you flexibility for every garden task.
Will the willow weave loosen over time?
Quality handwoven willow actually tightens slightly with use. The natural fibres settle and strengthen, making your trug more robust over time rather than less.
Can I use this indoors as storage?
Absolutely. Many customers use garden trugs in country kitchens for storing vegetables, in hallways for gloves and scarves, or in potting sheds for seed packets and labels.
How do I clean my willow trug?
Simply wipe with a damp cloth after use. For stubborn soil, use a soft brush. Avoid soaking or prolonged moisture, and allow to dry naturally in a well-ventilated space.
