Trugs

A traditional Sussex trug has been at home in every garden for at least 200 years. The craft is still alive today and Pete Marden’s trugs are all lovingly made using original tools and methods. The handle and rim are cleaved from coppiced sweet chestnut, the boards are prepared from cricket-bat willow and then soaked in water to make them more pliable before being nailed into the frame. Trugs are available in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, so please ask if you have a particular need in mind – for example to carry your giant prize winning marrows.


Watering Can

Watering can be a tedious job but using these traditional watering cans lends pleasure to the tending of outdoor pots and greenhouse trays. These traditional galvanised cans with brass oval roses are both stylish and practical. They are beautifully balanced and satisfying to use which is why they are so often seen at professional nurseries and 'open' gardens. The baby one takes 3.5 litres, the middle one 4.5 litres and the large one 8.8 litres.


Sun Hat


These wonderful garden hats, designed specifically for gardeners, are sell-outs on sweltering days at Chelsea and Hampton Court. Made of 100% high quality natural straw with a lattice-work band for ventilation and a green cotton under-brim to reduce glare. Both the styles featured have a perspiration band stitched inside the hat and a cord with an adjustable toggle. They are available in three sizes.


Root trainers

Sooner or later we are all tempted to grow a few seeds or take some cuttings. It is irresistible. When it happens these are what you need. This clever design ensures minimum disturbance when you are ready to transplant your plants. They are much deeper than normal seed trays, so are ideal for plants like sweet peas and cuttings of larger shrubs and trees - and furthermore, they are reusable. Our suggestion is a mixed pack with 4 trays (2 x the 3" deep ones and 2 x the 5").


Can-O-Worms

If you live in the town and don't have space for an old fashioned DIY compost heap, you should definitely buy one of these wormeries. The value pack includes everything you will need to get going: Can-O-Worms Housing Unit, 4kg Anti Acid Lime Mix, 2kg Worms Treat 1 Moisture Mat, 500g Composting Worms plus Instructions. Soon you will be producing loads of rich dark compost, easy and good for the soul.


 

Bed in a Box

This is a whole new gardening experience! A garden design in kit form which will appeal to the novice, the curious and the devoted (but time-pressed) gardener alike. Easy to follow instructions guide you through planting and maintenance all year round. Each kit (there are two to choose from) features a mixture of shrub and perennial plants, and additional bulbs can be introduced for further impact. The minimum size garden for each design is 5 metres x 5 metres. Both require an open, sunny aspect but will tolerate some shade.


Gardening CD-Rom

A CD-ROM packed with information about hundreds of plants. If you are creating our 'simple option' wedding garden gift list, this will really help.  You can find plants by name, or choose by colour, by month of flowering, location - sunny or shady, soil type, scent  or even those that are rabbit proof!  Once you have your new garden, it will help you to manage it throughout the year with information on pests, diseases, weeds, planting and pruning times. Every plant is illustrated by high quality photographs to help with identification.


Beehive Composter

This beehive composter, is so attractive that there's no need to hide it away at the bottom of the garden! Nestle it in amongst your vegetable patch or flower garden, anywhere you can add your waste conveniently and have your compost ready to use when you want it. A special door at the bottom that lets you harvest your compost easily and, if you want a whole batch of compost at once, the four sections simply lift apart. The design, made in sustainable, treated timber allows air to circulate, and is available in plain, white, blue or green plus special colours from Farrow & Ball, which are painted to order. Size: 615 x 615 x 950mm (approx 300 litres).
