Garland Colander Trug | Garden-to-Kitchen Harvest BasketOne of those genuinely clever pieces of garden kit that quietly improves an everyday task harvesting fruit and vegetables from the garden, then washing them clean, traditionally requires two containers and a fair bit of mess between garden and kitchen. The Garland Colander Trug solves both at once. It's a generously sized harvesting trug with built in drainage holes at one end carry your produce in, then rinse and drain straight into the kitchen sink

One of those genuinely clever pieces of garden kit that quietly improves an everyday task — harvesting fruit and vegetables from the garden, then washing them clean, traditionally requires two containers and a fair bit of mess between garden and kitchen. The Garland Colander Trug solves both at once. It's a generously sized harvesting trug with built-in drainage holes at one end — carry your produce in, then rinse and drain straight into the kitchen sink without transferring anything. Properly considered, properly useful, and at £15.25 the kind of small investment that pays back across every harvest of the year.

From Garland, the established British horticultural brand manufacturing propagation, greenhouse and growing equipment in the UK since 1968.

How it works

The design is simple and the integration is clever:

  • Harvest in the garden — large 56cm trug capacity for tomatoes, beans, salad leaves, apples, herbs, courgettes, anything you grow
  • Carry to the kitchen — sturdy moulded handles for comfortable lifting even when full
  • Position over the sink — place the trug on the drainer with the perforated end angled over the basin
  • Rinse the produce — water drains away through the integrated holes; produce stays in the trug
  • Bring to the worktop ready to use — no transfer to a separate colander; no second container to wash up

One trug, two functions, completed in a single workflow. The kind of small design improvement that quietly removes friction from the busy harvest season.

Why this matters at harvest time

Anyone who's grown vegetables or fruit seriously knows the harvest workflow has its small frustrations:

  • Two containers needed — one to carry from the garden, another (a colander) to rinse in
  • Transfer between containers — awkward with delicate produce; bruises soft fruit
  • Mud and grit everywhere — soil from the garden ends up in the kitchen sink or on the worktop
  • Multiple washing-up items — the trug AND the colander both need cleaning at the end

The colander trug solves all four at once. Single container, single rinse, single washing-up item. Small improvement, frequent benefit — a tool that earns its place every harvest day from June through October.

What to harvest in it

The 56cm capacity suits virtually all home garden harvests:

  • Salad leaves — lettuce, rocket, mizuna, mustards. Quick rinse to remove soil splash
  • Tomatoes — greenhouse and outdoor; gentle rinse before kitchen
  • Beans and peas — runner beans, French beans, broad beans, mangetout, sugar snaps
  • Courgettes and summer squash — the regular summer harvest crops
  • Apples and pears — substantial enough for a small windfall collection
  • Strawberries and raspberries — delicate berries needing gentle rinse
  • Herbs — basil, parsley, coriander, mint — pick stems, gentle wash, ready for the kitchen
  • Microgreens and salad crops — small harvests that need delicate handling
  • Cucumber, peppers, chillies — the warm-weather greenhouse and outdoor crops
  • Small root crops — baby beetroot, carrots, radishes for soil rinse-off
  • Fresh-cut flowers — the trug doubles as a flower-gathering basket for sweet peas, cosmos, zinnia

For larger root crops or muddy harvests requiring serious cleaning (potatoes, parsnips, leeks), a traditional bucket plus separate sink wash is still more practical. The colander trug is for the cleaner harvest crops where a rinse is all that's needed.

Particularly good for

  • Allotmenteers — the regular weekend or evening harvest; substantial capacity for a full picking session
  • Kitchen gardeners — the daily summer harvest of salad leaves, tomatoes, herbs
  • Cottage gardeners growing veg — for the small-scale productive garden where harvest happens at the dinner-time scale
  • Cut flower growers — doubles as a cut-flower gathering basket; the colander end drains naturally if flowers are cut wet
  • Herb gardeners — the right tool for gathering and rinsing herbs in volume
  • Greenhouse and conservatory growers — warm-weather harvest of tomatoes, peppers, chillies
  • Foragers — gather wild garlic, elderflower, blackberries, sloes; rinse before processing
  • Anyone with a small orchard — substantial capacity for an apple or pear pick
  • Multi-generational gardeners — the trug-as-colander concept is properly intuitive even for grandchildren involved in harvest
  • As a gift for a serious veg gardener or allotmenteer — properly useful, properly considered, not something they're likely to already own

The garden-to-kitchen connection

One of the genuine pleasures of growing your own food is the short journey from garden to plate. Pick the tomatoes still warm from the vine in July, pick the salad leaves five minutes before dinner, harvest the runner beans on Sunday afternoon for Monday's evening meal. The colander trug is properly aligned with this approach — it sits at the join between the growing side of gardening and the eating side of gardening, making both work more smoothly.

For Bishy customers raising our vegetable seeds, herb seeds or microgreen seeds, this is genuinely the right harvest companion. The kind of practical kit that connects the daily growing work to the daily eating pleasure.

Looking after it

The trug is designed for repeated use across multiple seasons:

  • Rinse after use — particularly if you've been harvesting muddy or soil-heavy crops
  • Dry before storage — air-dry properly to prevent any mould or staining
  • Store out of direct sunlight — UV degrades plastic over time; a covered shed or utility cupboard is ideal
  • Dishwasher consideration — check Garland's specific guidance, but most rigid horticultural plastics are NOT dishwasher-safe (heat can warp them)
  • Recycle at end of life — through standard household plastic recycling when the trug eventually wears out

Where it fits in our range

The colander trug is the harvest-stage companion to the rest of our Garland range:

Together these form a complete seasonal kitchen-garden system from sowing to harvest. The trug is the satisfying end-point — the tool you reach for when the work pays off.

About Garland

Garland is an established British horticultural brand specialising in propagation, greenhouse and growing equipment, manufacturing in the UK since 1968. They've supplied UK growers for nearly six decades with the practical kit that makes indoor and outdoor gardening work properly. Their products are widely used in commercial nurseries as well as home gardens. We stock their range because they make tools that genuinely improve outcomes for the home grower.

A small thought: the genuine pleasure of kitchen gardening is in the small repeated rituals — the walk down the garden in early evening to pick tomorrow's tomatoes, the morning herb gathering for the day's cooking, the Sunday afternoon harvest of beans and salad for the family Sunday roast. The colander trug quietly sits in the middle of those rituals, making the workflow smoother and the kitchen tidier. The kind of small useful tool that disappears into the daily routine until you wonder how you ever managed without it.

Totally worth the money
Size: King (Pack of 1), Size: King (Pack of 1)
Right off the bat, the packaging is absolutely adorable and felt like I was buying a premium product. I love that this pillow is adjustable and as a side sleeper, I needed a pillow that is both firm and supportive of my neck. This hits all the boxes. We will be buying more of these for our bed!

This is a great pillow!! I ordered this for my elderly mother who wanted a softer pillow. She absolutely loves this one. It’s supportive, keeps her cool also keeps its shape. I love that it came with extra stuffing so you can customize it. Well worth the price!!

Very comfortable pillow
Size: Queen (1 Count), Color: White
I’ve been sleeping with this pillow for a few nights and I really like it. It’s soft but still supportive, and it stays cool during the night. I also like that you can adjust the filling to make it more comfortable. Definitely helped me sleep better.

Fantastic pillow for the price, adjustable is a different ball-game entirely.
Size: Queen (1 Count), Color: White
Overall, I'm quite pleased with this. The fact that it is fully adjustable (adding or removing foam, and they give you a bunch extra) is a massive boon as I like pillows to be pretty low profile. It feels nice to the touch, and compresses nicely but not a ton like down. The memory foam that is inside of it seems to be combined with some kind of a harder material, it's all shredded so I can't tell what it is, but it seems like maybe plastic or something of the kind. Hasn't been an issue in any way, but was just weird feeling it when removing foam. I took a point off because there seems to be some false advertising going on. You can see in their picture that there is a tag that says bamboo side, the other side of that says cooling side. They also mention it in their advertising. As far as I can tell that is not true at all. The cover unzips so that you can remove the material so you can see that there is nothing on either side of it, and both sides appear visually identical to each other. Certainly I would NOT call this a cooling pillow in any way. It's maybe decently cool if you leave it in a cool place for a while, but over the course of the night warms up quite a bit. I did not notice any appreciable difference in the cooling of either side of it. There is a definite noticeable smell to it, but I wouldn't call it 'bad' like most memory foam things are when they come from the factory. It smells kind of like some kind of cleaning solution in a noticeable but not unpleasant sense. All in all, for the price this is a fantastic pillow and I would definitely recommend it.

Most Comfy Pillow Ever Used
Size: King Size Pack of 2, Color: White
I recently purchased the BETU Cooling King Size Pillows Set of 2, and I have been thoroughly impressed with their quality and performance. These pillows have truly transformed my sleeping experience, making them an essential addition to my bedroom. First and foremost, the shredded memory foam provides fantastic support while remaining incredibly comfortable. These pillows adapt perfectly to my head and neck, offering excellent support for back, neck pain relief, and side sleeping. The adjustability of the memory foam allows me to customize the firmness to my liking, ensuring a perfect balance between soft and firm support. This customization has made a tremendous difference in my sleep quality, reducing any discomfort and ensuring I wake up feeling refreshed and pain-free. One of the standout features of these pillows is their cooling capability. As a hot sleeper, I struggled to find pillows that keep me cool throughout the night. The BETU Cooling Pillows effectively dissipate heat and maintain a comfortable temperature, allowing me to enjoy a restful and uninterrupted sleep. The cooling technology is truly a game-changer for anyone who tends to overheat during the night. The pillow covers are another bonus. They are soft, breathable, and easily removable for washing, ensuring that the pillows remain fresh and hygienic. The white cover adds a clean and elegant look to the bedding, making them aesthetically pleasing as well. The king size is generous and luxurious, providing ample space and comfort. Whether used for sleeping, lounging, or reading in bed, these pillows offer an unparalleled level of comfort and support. In summary, the BETU Cooling King Size Pillows Set of 2 is an exceptional product. The combination of shredded memory foam, adjustable firmness, and cooling technology makes these pillows perfect for hot sleepers and those in need of superior support for back and neck pain. The high-quality covers and overall design further enhance their value. I highly recommend these pillows to anyone looking to improve their sleep quality and comfort.
