Every gardener knows the heartbreak of watching once-perfect peonies or tall delphiniums bow under the weight of heavy spring rain—it’s almost too much to bear. This workshop offers the perfect solution..so join us to learn how to weave your own beautiful, handcrafted perennial willow supports that bring both strength and rustic charm to your garden. 🌿
Spend a creative day with us at The Walled Garden, Helen’s Bay, and discover the art of traditional willow weaving. Guided by Heather McDermott, you’ll learn essential techniques to craft your own sturdy domed or open flower supports—perfect for summer roses, delphiniums, and peonies.
You’ll also visit our Salley Garden, where you’ll see firsthand the sustainable and renewable qualities of willow—so please come suitably dressed for outdoor learning!
No experience is needed; this workshop is open to adults of all skill levels (though a little manual dexterity helps).
