changing elements at crannog


During the last weeks we have had a huge temperature change here at crannog.
             It did present a golden opportunity to weave the willow nest beside the pond.
                        The ice also created a new playground for the family pets.

    As a result of the large amount of willow we maintain every year we have alot of willow whips suitable for weaving and building "fedges "( fence and hedge ) . We can teach how to build and maintain these very attractive structures, with arches and domes and living sculptures.
                       You can also plant in a wet area to help drainage and produce biomass. For this we can supply 10"- 12" rods that can be easily planted in suitable areas.
