Garden Structures

Natural structures for your garden and allotment made from organically grown willows.

We create living willow plaited trees available from the end of May. Throughout the year we weave a variety of shapes and sizes of plant climbers and supports for your garden or allotment. If you have a particular design in mind do contact us to discuss your idea and we will do our best to make this for you. Bear in mind that willow disintegrates over time when kept outside, especially through wet winters. We advise you to treat your structures annually with a wood preserve and bring them indoors throughout the winter.

Living willow plaited trees can grow in large pots but thrive in the ground. Eventually the willow pressure grafts together and grows into a solid tree which retains the diamond shaped gaps. New growth can be removed from the trunk of the tree allowing the leaves to grow from the top of the tree.

The cost for each tree is £40, sorry we cannot post these, so collection only. We have three varieties, Green dicks (yellow/lime green), Dark dicks (rose red), Le bleu ( deep purple)

Cloches are great for supporting flowers such as peonies and dahlias . Prices start at £35 for a standard 65-70cm high cloche with a 35-40cm diameter base.

 

We make a variety of plant supports for your veggies and flowers to grow up.Our spiral plant climbers start at £35 , they have a one foot diameter base and are 6 foot high.We can make the climbers to suit your requirements.

We recommend all garden structures are treated annually with a wood preserve, such as teak oil or linseed oil. You can also prolong the life of your structures by bringing them indoors during the damp winter months. Delivery costs are not included in the prices above.
