The Royal Horticultural Society has revealed its endorsement of VegTrug, a specialist in raised beds and products designed to help everyone enjoy a ‘grow-your-own’ lifestyle.
The endorsement covers most of the wide range of VegTrug products, with specific emphasis on the core item: the classic VegTrug, a planter that allows people to easily grow their own fruit, herbs and vegetables in the smallest spaces.
The endorsement also includes the new, durable VegTub corrugated steel planter, as well as wooden barrels, rectangle planters and the Raised Bed Grow Kit. There will also be smaller versions of the VegTrug for children. All planter products come supplied with liners. The Raised Bed Grow Kit is supplied with a greenhouse frame and cover.
Already a strong seller both online and at garden centres in a number of countries, the extensive range will now include labelling that offers an ‘Endorsed by the RHS’ logo, as well as RHS-supported point of sale material.
“As a sustainable lifestyle brand focused on bringing grow-your-own to everyone we are delighted to be working with the RHS,” commented Paul Owen, co-founder and md at VegTrug. “This endorsement from the UK’s favourite gardening charity will be a wonderful inspiration for many people to start the New Year by enjoying the undoubted benefits of home growing.”
Cathy Snow, licensing manager at the RHS, added: “Sustainable growing and living well have been a strong part of the RHS message for many years and working alongside a leading, well-established name in designing and manufacturing high quality grow-your-own products is a marvellous way to promote that message. We are delighted to be endorsing this impressive range and to be working with VegTrug to support the grow-your-own philosophy.”
