Here are some tips to make your own living willow tunnel: • Plant during dormancy. Willow sets root best between late winter and early spring, before leaf buds appear. • Soften the rods. Soak them in water or leave them somewhere warm and damp overnight—this prevents snapping and makes weaving easier. • Use fresh, long whips. 2–3 meters is ideal. Cut from healthy trees during the dormant season for best results. • Angle for success. Plant rods at a 45° angle and at least 20–30 cm deep for stability and good root contact. • Weave with intention. Living willow is pliable—intertwine rods as you plant to form arches and structure. As they grow, they’ll graft together naturally. • Water generously. Especially in the first few months. Willow loves moisture and will thrive with consistent hydration. Living willow structures aren’t just beautiful—they’re regenerative, interactive, and grow stronger with time.

How to transform your garden into a living art piece! 🌱✨ For the Willow Fence: 🌿 Two willows per hole; use a crowbar + hammer for holes. 🔄 Start the fedge weave: Right willow out, left willow in. 📏 Support with a rod, weave, plant, and tie triangles evenly. 🔝 Finish with a taper or a pairing weave for extra stability. Spiral Entrance Magic: 🌀 Secure 8-12 uprights temporarily; begin with a 3-rod wale at the bottom 🌐 Use rope pairing weave for the spiral; start with 4ft rods, finish with 3ft thin rods. 🌿 Weave 7-8ft rods into the opolis, adding three at a time until youve filled the whole structure ✨ Tie the cones to form an archway, secure by twisting and tying rods at the top Hope this helps! 😊🌱

Attempting something new shouldn't be dismissed simply because it's unfamiliar.

love making magic with you 😘 🌱✨
