Product Information
Full details
The Loving Embrace Trug Basket is designed for florists, home gardeners, and gift-givers who require a sturdy, reliable vessel for large floral arrangements or seasonal displays. Its primary benefit is the integrated plastic lining, which allows for direct use with wet floral foam or damp compost, saving users the trouble of adding extra moisture barriers. While its 35cm size offers substantial space for displays, its rigid softwood construction means it cannot be collapsed or folded for compact storage when not in use.

FAQs
Can this basket be used outdoors?
Yes, it is suitable for outdoor use, though it is best kept in sheltered areas to preserve the natural finish of the softwood.
Is the plastic liner removable?
The liner is integrated into the design to ensure it is watertight. It is not intended to be removed during regular use.
What is the maximum weight capacity?
While there is no strict weight limit, it is designed for standard floral arrangements and light potted plants; avoid carrying excessively heavy items like large rocks or bricks.
How do I clean the wood if it gets dirt on it?
Gently brush the dirt off with a soft-bristled brush. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may stain or damage the natural finish.
Can I use this for non-floral gifts?
Absolutely. It makes an excellent base for fruit baskets, gift hampers, or storage of home accessories.
Troubleshooting
Water pooling inside the plastic liner
Use a dry cloth or sponge to soak up excess moisture after watering your plants to maintain the liner's cleanliness.
Basket feels unstable on uneven surfaces
Ensure that the load inside the basket is centered; the handle's height may cause the basket to tip if the weight is heavily biased toward one side.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the trug is straightforward. Simply ensure the basket is placed on a level surface. If using for wet arrangements, ensure your floral foam is saturated before placing it inside the liner. When used for soil-based planting, add a layer of gravel at the bottom to improve drainage if the plants require it, despite the liner being present.
To care for your product:
- Wipe the exterior with a dry cloth periodically to remove dust.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain, as this may soften the softwood over time.
- If water pools in the plastic liner, dry it out promptly to prevent stagnant water odors.
- Store in a cool, dry area to maintain the integrity of the natural finish.
