Are you curious about growing willow for privacy, living fences, or basketry? This workshop will offer hands on training for sourcing, preparing, and planting willow cuttings. We’ll talk site selection, planting techniques, and proper care of cuttings and then we’ll work together to expand the farm’s Salley Garden!
A few suggestions for this workshop: wear comfortable gardening clothing, and dress appropriately for the weather! Gardening or work gloves suggested, and bring a kneeling pad if you need.
Willow planting will be taught by Lori McCarthy and Dale Jarvis.
Lunch and tea at Thimble Cottage is included in the price!
Lori McCarthy is a chef, forager, hunter, educator, basket weaver, and enthusiastic outdoors person. She regularly teaches basketry courses through her business Food Culture Place - a folk school for craft, culture, and belonging. While Dale is an author, folklorist, and Executive Director of Heritage NL, where he works to safeguard the historic places and living history of the province. He is passionate about forging links between communities, and is an aspiring basket maker.
