CottagesandGardens Baskets are 100% hand crafted in the Midwestern United States using virtually the same techniques and methods that have been used by our basket makers for over 70 years now.  In fact, the process is so "original" and "pure" that our basket makers actually harvest (and replant) the White Oak trees used to make the White Oak Splint Baskets.

Each basket is painstakingly woven and otherwise crafted by the basket makers using minimal nails/fasteners to produce a CottagesandGardens Basket with beautiful aesthetics.  Many baskets of our baskets do not contain any nails/fasteners at all!

Many of the processes and attention to detail described above are found very rarely any more in basket making in the United States ~ it is almost a dying art.  We believe the time honored traditions used by our basket makers add significantly to the overall quality and value of a Cottages and Gardens Basket.

As discussed in more detail in CARE INFORMATION, you can easily enjoy your CottagesandGardens Baskets for many years to come and even a lifetime.
