Gardenheir Bentwood Trug

The traditional trug shape, with its long body and shallow height, is designed to protect delicate produce and cut flower stems from being crushed or bruised during transport. It offers a stable, open vessel that makes it easier to arrange and carry your harvest without overcrowding.

Yes, the trug is finished with food-grade mineral oil, making it perfectly safe for carrying vegetables, fruits, or herbs directly from the garden to your kitchen.

The copper nails and hardware are highly durable and resistant to rust, which is essential for a tool that will be exposed to moisture and soil. Over time, the copper will develop a natural patina, adding to the piece's character without compromising its structural integrity.

The small size (14 inches) is ideal for light harvesting, gathering herbs, or as a decorative display piece. If you plan on harvesting larger vegetables or carrying multiple tools, the large size (19 inches) provides the extra capacity and stability you will need.

The fixed handle is a standard feature of traditional trug design, ensuring the basket remains rigid and easy to carry with one hand. While it doesn't fold down, its lightweight nature and aesthetic appeal make it easy to hang or display on a shelf when not in use.
