Willow Weaving Container + Spring Planter Class

Service Description

Book in and join us for a very special two-in-one workshop, where you’ll spend the first part of the session creating the willow container from scratch and the second part of it planting it up ready for spring. First, Meg’s Meadow will guide you through the art of willow weaving, helping you create your very own woven willow container. You’ll learn the basics of working with willow and weave your own unique structure that you will get to take home. Then it’s time to get planting it with Bedfordshire Flower School. You’ll choose from a selection of gorgeous spring bulbs and learn how to plant them up in the container, with a layer of moss to finish it all off beautifully. We’ll show you how to position and plant your bulbs so they have the best chance of thriving and giving you a lovely succession of spring growth and flowers. And the best bit? Your willow container is made to be reused. A handy plastic planting pot sits neatly inside the woven structure, so once your spring bulbs have finished flowering, you can simply lift it out and reuse your willow and container again and again. Plant it up with something new for summer, autumn or winter, fill it with seasonal bulbs, or use it as a beautiful vessel for a flower arrangement. So you’re not just making something for one season — you’re creating a piece you can keep reinventing throughout the year. This really is a lovely hands-on workshop combining willow weaving, spring bulb planting and a little bit of forward planning for your garden. All abilities welcome. This Spring planter class is a brand new class to 2027 which we haven't run before so timings might vary depending on how the session flows.
