About this Event

Vanessa from Penacre Willow, is an experienced basket maker and teacher, who has been weaving with the plants from her garden for over 10 years. She is constantly learning about weaving with plants and loves to share her knowledge.

If you have ever thought about what plants you can weave with, come along and let Vanessa share her vast knowledge with you. You will look at what plants are locally available to you, how and when to harvest them, their preparation and how you can use them to weave with.

There will be a selection of plant material, freshly harvested and some Vanessa has already prepared. As well as a selection of items she has made. You can try various techniques and skills before planning and selecting materials to make your very own creations.

Please wear suitable clothing, an apron is my preference. Due to the use of sharp tools closed footwear is essential.


Location: Please enter via the Visitor Centre. You will be directed where to go from there. The event is being held in Trebah House.

Refreshment availability: Trebah Kitchen will be open. Or please bring a pack lunch.

Garden entry: Included during the workshop. If you would like to enter the garden before or after the workshop, non-members will need to purchase garden entry.

When to arrive: Please arrive with enough time for the event to start at the advertised time.

Dogs: Assistance dogs only please.
