Trelush and Trelush Gardens is the wooden-planter brand of Shillings Ltd (Co. No. 03402907), the Kent family business behind Home & Roost. Our planters are designed and built at our Hutch Company workshop at The Hanger, The Loop, Manston — the same family who make our Home & Roost pet enclosures. We've been selling Hutch Company-built planters on Amazon for several years; Trelush is our direct-to-consumer brand for them.

Our Story: From a Kent workshop to Your Garden
Picture this: It's 1982, and at a small flower stand in Kent, a man with a pile of leftover timber and a love of woodworking is about to start something bigger than he realises. That spark became a family business — and over 40 years on, we're still pouring our hearts (and a fair bit of elbow grease) into building wooden planters that British gardens deserve.
We're not just another garden supplier
We're the neighbours who slow down to admire your borders on the way past, the friends who get genuinely excited when your courgettes finally come in, and the family who insist on seeing photos of your hanging baskets in full bloom. Simply put, we're gardeners, just like you.

How it all started
While running his flower stand, Richard Brimm (our Dad) found himself with some leftover timber. Always a keen woodworker and a lover of plants and nature, he turned his hand to wood and crafted a hanging planter for the stand. People kept asking where he'd got it. So he made another. And another.
The rest is history
British-Made Magic
As proud members of the Made in Britain campaign, every Trelush planter is a piece of UK craftsmanship — handmade in our own workshop in Kent. From hanging baskets to our largest panelled troughs, it's not just about patriotism; it's about quality you can trust and a local workshop you're supporting with every order.
Plant-Safe Promise
We've got a bone to pick with chemical-soaked timber. That's why our planters are treated with Timbac — our own-brand wood treatment that's safe for plants, pets and wildlife. No tanalisation, no nasties leaching into your soil. Built from slow-grown Northern European softwood, every planter is designed to keep your borders, your veg patch and your peace of mind in equally good shape.
