    Natural plant supports


Create willow structures for supporting flowers and vegetable plants, or to use as decorative contemporary garden ornaments. Get a feel for working with freshly harvested tall green willow and be able to experiment and learn about the different varieties, with varying colours and textures, and their uses in making structures.

You will have the opportunity to create one tall and one smaller plant support using different weaving and willow craft techniques. Depending on your garden needs, you can choose from a number of different attractive designs – willow obelisks for growing peas or beans up, cloche style supports for roses or perennials, or other practical ornamental garden pieces using different styles. The only limiting factor is the size of your transport home! 

Please bring with you:

  • Your booking reference number
  • A notebook and pencil to make notes
  • Camera or mobile phone (for photos)
  • Secateurs
  • Gloves if you wish to wear them

Please wear shoes with enclosed toes, old clothes and layers. Willow work is very active and you might get quite warm. ​

All materials provided. Lunch and refreshments included.

Tutor: Jane Fletcher
