Our Story

As a Polymer Chemist within the building industry with decades of experience, I decided that I would make a trough for my own garden. I was mindful that if I ever needed something to do in retirement, I could not go ahead with making troughs without using my most worthy formulation and undertaking exposure tests. That was 25 years ago and the original trough is holding up well and still looks good

Now retired and working from a unit on a nearby farm, we are enjoying our business and take pride in the fact that we are making a durable quality product.

Our Artisan Approach

Based in Dorset, our artisans blend tradition with modern materials, ensuring each piece is unique, durable, and environmentally friendly, enhancing your outdoor spaces.
