Prestige Wicker are, you guessed it, wicker specialists. We love this traditional looking willow cart, and also have our eye on a log basket in the same style.

This cable number is too pretty to use for weeding. Instead, use it indoors to display flowers or store fruits or vegetables. We think it would also make a lovely gift – as an added touch, add a message to the wooden gift tag.

If you like this style, Dibor, a family business based in Yorkshire, offers a variety of handwoven trugs.

Handy, this trug doubles as a colander, so you can wash down harvested produce hassle-free. When rinsing vegetables, the handle folds down for easier access. An additional bonus? It’s currently half price.

Barrow Wood, based in Dorset, manufactures decorative wooden garden accessories, including this customizable trug engraved with a floral design. We think this would make a great Mother’s Day gift.

This one is part of the Burgon and Ball collaboration with Sophie Conran, and it’s a great way to store all your gardening kit in the shed. Or you can use it to carry your tools to the housing estate – have your name engraved on the beech handle for a personal touch.

It’s the most convenient design we’ve seen: clip it to your waistband, belt or pocket, leaving your hands free to pick produce. With a 1.5 liter capacity, there’s plenty of room for cuttings, and it’s dishwasher safe, so easy to clean.

There are several options to choose from, including sets that include knee pads and knee pads.

Here’s another tip from Burgon & Ball. Made from sustainably sourced poplar wood, it’s the largest cart on our list, so all your fresh produce (or weeding!) can fit comfortably in it.

There is, however, a medium size option, if you prefer.
