WILLOW PLANT SUPPORTS with THE STICKSMITH
Learn to weave your very own willow plant supports to grow your climbing plants in style with the StickSmith Dave Jackson: organic willow grower, coppicer and rural craft teacher.
In this endlessly useful full day workshop, you will be able to make up to two supports in the day, either two Obelisk plant supports or one obelisk plant support and one herbaceous dome.
These supports are very satisfying to make, practical in purpose, whilst adding a touch of charm to your garden.
All materials, tools and weaving jigs are provided but please bring a pair of secateurs if you have them and ensure you have the means to transport your finished items home afterwards.
