Willow Plant Supports and Garden Structures
10.00 - 17.00 Saturday 14th March 2020
Booking: Rosemary 089 258 3226 @belongingtothewillows
Come join us for a morning of learning how to make beautiful
and functional garden support structures. In this day class we will learn how
to make two different willow obelisks or plant supports—optionally one could
also just come for the morning to learn how to make the first structure.
Our
first plant support will be a tall spiraled structure ideal for peas, beans,
and indeed anything that enjoys a good climb. This structure will be woven with
a traditional Irish weave found in the donkey creels that brings a great
strength.
The second, plant support is called a “cloche” that has a stout shape and a domed top, making it ideal for supporting heavy headed flowers or for making a wee portable poly-tunnel. Colourful willow will be provided for both structures.
Teas, coffees, and homemade biscuits provided.
Please bring a pack lunch, although a warm soup will be provided.
Course includes all materials and tools.
€85 for the full day, €50 for half day {€30 deposit required}.
