Sorry - the willow harvest has now finished!
If you would like us to alert you when we start cutting for the next season (from December onwards)
or if you would like to come to our next Open Day in October, please go to our Inforequest page.
The climate here is ideal for willow plants - enough moisture (simply called "rain"by some people) all year round, intermingled with periods of glorious sunshine and blue sky, giving the willows what they need togrow into lovely strong rods.
Willow trees ("withies") have for
a long time been part of the local flora,
as is mirrored in local place names like "Withybush".
Besides being used for baskets of different types, lobster pots were the main product manufactured from withies in this area.

Sadly, the last willow
grower has given up his business several decades ago, his willow beds long being abandoned. We are here to pick up the thread again and once more produce willows in Pembrokeshire, carrying on with the tradition. There are plenty of uses for willows.... |
