Sussex Trugs

Ever since Queen Victoria popularised the Sussex Trug, by purchasing a number as gifts for members of the Royal Family in 1851, they have remained as a symbols of solidity, strength and endurance in the world of gardening. Indeed Sussex Trugs have become almost synonymous with gardening itself. Certainly it would not be unusual to associate classic images of the English Country Garden with a hard-working gardener tending lovingly to the beds whilst clasped onto one of these simple, yet extremely practical trugs.

At Hortica we supply Sussex trugs in 3 sizes so that you can choose the product which best suits your garden and your needs. Whichever size trug you choose you can be sure that each one is hand made by craftsmen in Sussex, using the highest quality Finnish Birch wood.

For more information on these classically designed trugs, or to order them through our secure online catalogue you can use the search box at the top left of the page, or click on Sussex Trugs.
