Templecombe Side Table - Natural

Our Ethical Tag System

A fast-growing hardwood, ash provides a rapidly renewable timber supply that locks away absorbed carbon throughout its entire lifecycle. Its flexible, shock-resistant fibres ensure furniture withstands years of heavy use without snapping or needing frequent replacement. Finished using non-toxic natural oils rather than harsh chemical varnishes and harvested from responsibly managed, certified forests, Garden Trading's ash wood products offer everyday shoppers durable, eco-conscious essentials built to minimise environmental impact.

Our Ethical Tag System

Garden Trading uses highly responsible, high-density cardboard packaging specifically designed to minimise waste while ensuring maximum transit protection. To keep its carbon footprint low, large items like dining tables and benches are expertly flat-packed into streamlined, space-efficient cartons, significantly reducing the transport emissions required for delivery.

Prioritising sustainability, Garden Trading uses mostly recycled, fully recyclable paper-based materials, avoiding excessive plastic wrap and eliminating bulky, non-recyclable fillers wherever possible. This ensures your furniture arrives safely and securely in an eco-friendly package that can be easily disposed of in standard household recycling bins
