It is well known that King Charles would not be without his. TV gardener and writer Monty Don is often seen using one and Alan Titchmarsh claims: ‘I don’t know what I’d do without my Sussex trug. It is a part of my gardening life among my beds and borders. Knowing that I am helping to sustain a craft that is not only ancient but also hugely practical gives me the greatest satisfaction.
