Description
We will spend the day making two plant supports for your sweet peas or other climbing plants in your garden. During the morning we will make a larger one and in the afternoon a smaller one. Using Sussex-grown willow we will work with a jig, employing 'reverse pairing' with bundles of willow to build our structure. The afternoon will be shorter, as we are often tired after the physicality of the morning, and we will be consolidating skills learnt in the morning to make a smaller obelisk.
