Living Willow Sculpture Kits
-
What could be more rewarding than
making your own living willow structure,
A fedge perhaps to create a decorative screen,
or a fantasy play den to stimulate a childs imagination
(batteries not included) or a leafy shady arbour where
you can relax and watch nature going about her business.
-
We have over 12 years experience of designing and installing
living willow structures, our tried and tested no
dig method produces elegant and strong, living willow
structures that will grow and thrive year after year.
Beware
of cheap imitations! Our kits are a quality product,
all the willow rods are graded and selected for each
individual kit, come with detailed instructions and
clear diagrams and photographs, are easy to follow and
are suitable for complete beginners.
We are confident they are the best quality and value
for money available! |

also be planted for other purposes where high quality
weed control is used for the first 2 growing seasons.
For instance to plant a hedge through a weed suppressing
mulch matt.

willow cuttings. This
is a good size to choose for planting garden hedges

Plant this size where weed control cannot be guaranteed
or for short pollards. 4ft
