This is the time of year where all the garden plans start becoming actual garden realities 🌱

And did you know willow screening can still be done even after living willow planting season has passed?

We make bespoke willow fences and screens - fixed, movable, hinged, curved, wonky-shaped-space the flexibility of willow is endless!

Perfect for creating a bit of privacy around a hot tub, fire pit or seating area, whether you want a big garden statement piece or something subtle that quietly screams quality.

Wildlife love it, we love making it, and we can install too.

Simple or wildly creative designs, personalised quotes available. Get in touch 🌿

You can come and see this beauty in situ and grab yourself a wee treat from the farm shop while you’re here too 😋

Where art and history meet paths. You shouldn’t have favourites, but these hold a special place in our hearts & spaces.

Our sculptural frame basket course is an invitation to slow down and create what the shape is dictating. Weaving organic, free-flowing forms that feel as much like art as they do tradition.

Rooted in heritage techniques, yet guided by your own creativity and the shape the ‘basket is asking to be in’ each piece becomes something entirely unique. Mindful hands, natural materials, and shapes that grow on their own.

Functional, beautiful, and deeply personal - holding your favourite trinkets or simply existing as a piece of art in your space.

Useful art. Living craft. Something to be felt, not just made.

Spaces limited but we have a couple left 👇
