Step-by-step Guide To Building Your Own Enchanting Living Willow Structure!

Thanks for checking for wheelchair space. 🙂
Tents to be the right amount of space for parents with pushchairs, and people using crutches or walking sticks too. 🙂

Glad the garden is coming along in terms of shelter and structure.

Those geese stole the show!

I'm fascinated by these willow structures, love the willow berm/shelter video you did before too.

Am I right in thinking that the plaited sections will pleach together at multiple points, growing into one conjoined arch that really cannot come apart?

So cool and so cost effective!!! Thank you for the important work you are doing showing us this practical knowledge :)

Isn't it satisfying to work with willow!

Willows are gorgeous on there own as hedges.

I noticed your comment something along the lines of "it's easy to get discouraged". It's easy to focus on work that still needs to be done rather than recognise achievements and I know gardening/farming can be hard sometimes when you sink a lot of effort into something and then it fails for one reason or another. Can be the worst if something fails and it's not even clear why. I hope all is well and you can continue with this great project. Take care of yourself and try and get help from others when you can 🙂 it can make these things more fun and rewarding

As you mentioned the willow dome, a thought came to me, inspired by your log steps in this video… could you potentially have someone drop a big round bale of straw in the middle of the dome? You could stand on it to weave it all together, then use it as mulch when you’re done. Thanks for the inspiration, I need to tackle my 30ft long willow tunnel this year with room to drive the tractor through!

excellent information as normal thanks

would love seeing updates on the progress of these arches as the years go on.
