A handwoven garden trug made from unpeeled willow with the natural bark still on. Rougher in texture than a finished basket, more honest in character. Two sizes for daily rounds and heavier harvests - both made to be used hard and left muddy.
Product Story
∨
Some baskets are made to look good on a shelf.
This one isn't that.
The Kew is woven from unpeeled willow - bark still on, knots and all. Pick it up and it feels different from a finished basket. Heavier somehow. More like a tool than a thing.
It's the one you grab without thinking on a wet Tuesday morning when the courgettes have got out of hand again and you need something that doesn't mind getting properly filthy. The oval shape sits against your hip as you walk the rows. The handle doesn't cut in. It holds more than you expect.
Leave it muddy by the back door. It won't mind.

Frequently Asked Questions
›
What does unpeeled willow mean?
Unpeeled willow means the natural bark has been left on the willow rods during weaving, rather than being stripped back. This gives the basket a rougher, more rustic texture and a darker, more natural tone compared to peeled or antique wash willow.
Which size should I choose?
Small (44 x 27cm) suits daily garden rounds, herb gathering and light flower cutting. Large (51 x 34cm) handles bigger harvests, heavier loads and works well as a display basket on a kitchen table or potting bench.
How does unpeeled willow age over time?
With outdoor use and exposure to light, unpeeled willow will naturally change in tone over time. The exact way it ages will depend on conditions and use - store it in a dry place over winter to help it last.
Is the Set of 2 good value?
Yes - the Set of 2 includes both the small and large trug at a combined saving compared to buying separately. Useful for keeping one size for lighter daily tasks and one for heavier harvesting.
Is this trug suitable as a gift?
Yes - the natural bark texture and rustic character make it a distinctive gift for gardeners. The Set of 2 works particularly well as a gift, giving the recipient a size for every task.
