Living Willow Structures

---

Although more complex to erect, these make good kids’ play areas or garden picnic spots – though they’re not guaranteed waterproof. 

A willow fedge is a cross between a hedge and a fence. It can be used as a more organic-looking alternative to a fence – much more interesting than a wall of brown timber. They’re a good way to divide and section off your garden, creating different rooms or zones.

 These structures will need annual Spring/Autumn maintenance for them to keep their structure. They will need cutting back to their original height to allow the frame to bush out and become denser and for it to keep its shape. After 2-3 years you will be able to use a hedge trimmer or shears to give the structure a quick trim 

These Archways are usually incorporated into a living Willow Fedge as an entrance or gateway.  

  Using longer whips to achieve high archways,  the end result will be a lovely natural-looking spot to seek shade, read a book in, or whatever other use you find for it. 

Supported on a wooden frame and planted tight, vertically together, these Livng Fedges make excellent privacy screens when in full leaf.
