A place in The Homeland Project
The Willow Patch
The story so far
Our willow bank is a little nursery of possibility. Here, we're growing willow that one day we hope to harvest and use for weaving baskets, making sculptures and running creative workshops. But growing willow takes care, from watering and weeding to pruning, harvesting and maintaining the beds. With your support, we can nurture our young plants, keep the growing area healthy and develop a sustainable supply of this wonderful natural material, bringing together creativity, traditional skills and a connection to the land.
What your support will do
- Purchase new willow cuttings to expand our growing bank
- Maintain and repair the growing beds and protective sheeting
- Provide tools and materials for watering, weeding and pruning
- Cover the time needed for seasonal care, harvesting and maintenance
- Grow a sustainable supply of willow for creative projects
- Purchase tools and equipment for traditional willow weaving
- Develop workshops in basket making, sculpture and natural crafts
- Bring people together to learn new skills, get creative and connect with nature
