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.

SMELL is not so great. A bit pricey for kid shoes.
These are very cute and sparkly, just as a jelly should be. They are true to size and easy to learn how to buckle. I'm glad it's not velcro buckles as those easily fall apart. These jellies will definitely last. I assume that's why this brand 'mini melissa' is a bit more pricey, but 89 dollars for kid shoes they will grow out of in a year?! I have seen others not so expensive of the same brand. Not sure why these are so high. I don't think it's worth the money unless they're taken down a notch. They SMELL, which others love but I cannot stand the smell. Honestly like a park restroom air freshener or urinal cake. It stunk up the whole garage. And they are purposefully stored outside or in the garage for that reason. Not allowed in the house. It's been a month and they still are so strongly smelly. I wish there was a 'non scented' if that's possible. A good brand, but the smell is awful and the price isn't as fair for kid shoes.

Couldn’t be happier that Jelly’s are back!!
Size: 11 Little Kid, Color: Glitter Pink, Size: 11 Little Kid, Color: Glitter Pink
These are such fun little sandals for kids. The jelly style gives them a playful look, and they go with so many outfits. I love that they can be dressed up a bit or worn casually for everyday play. They’re super easy to clean, which is huge for kids’ shoes. Whether they get dirty outside or at the park, you can just wipe them down and they look good as new. They also feel sturdy and hold up really well with regular use. The fit is secure and they stay on without any issues, which is always something I look for in kids’ shoes. They’re comfortable enough for all-day wear too. Pros: Easy to clean, durable, secure fit, versatile style. This will sound weird but these shoes smell so good! Even my daughter thought so. Cons: None so far.

Fun Y2K Heels for Kids
Size: 3 Big Kid, Color: Glitter Pink, Size: 3 Big Kid, Color: Glitter Pink
These heels are absolutely adorable and bring a real fun Y2K vibe, perfect for an older kid who wants to add some sparkle to their outfit. The main material is a soft, jelly-style plastic which feels quite flexible. It does have a distinct, strong scent, but it's not unpleasant at all; just something to note when you first unbox them. The color is a lovely pink with gold sparkles mixed in. While it has a slightly more orange hue than I expected from the photos, it still looks really cool and vibrant. What stands out with these is how surprisingly practical they are for heels. The heels themselves are thick and provide solid balance, and the traction on the sole is good, making them easy to walk and even be active in. The insole has some light padding, adding to the comfort. In terms of fit, they run a little small, so keep that in mind when ordering, though they were close enough. My only minor gripe is the buckle; it's a standard plastic and metal clasp that you have to fasten each time, which isn't quite as convenient as some other kids' shoes that use a faux buckle with velcro underneath. Despite that, they're a really cute and well-designed pair of shoes for a young fashionista.

Very nice but insanely expensive
I got mini melissa Possession Heel in March 2026. These are excellent and I agree with virtually everything about them in the product description. These are stylish, they do look great, and they are definitely versatile in different occasions ways you can use them. The color on the Glitter Dark Pink one I got matches the pictures quite well, and these shoes overall look great and feel great. I do not have anything negative to say about them. Well, maybe the price but I will talk about that below. As for the price, $90 for these feel insanely expensive. The Glitter Dark Pink is currently discounted to $53 and even that feels quite expensive. Obviously these are nice, but I personally would consider $30 to be a great deal for these.
