Weaving Willow Plant Supports

Additional information

16th May 2026

Date

£125.00

These elegant willow obelisks and domes are practical and beautiful. Designed to support herbaceous perennials, peas, beans, or sweet peas, it gently holds plants upright while allowing them to grow naturally through the structure.

During the course, you’ll learn how to create a freestanding, sculptural plant support that blends into the garden, and is more environmentally friendly than metal or plastic alternatives. You will be able to make up to two supports in the day.

These supports are very satisfying to make, practical in purpose, whilst adding a touch of charm to your garden — and once you’ve learned the technique, it’s easily adapted to different sizes and uses.

Please ensure you have the means to transport your finished items home afterwards.
