Living Playground

The littlen's school are creating a 'living adventure playground' for the pre-school children at the moment. They invited parents to a day course to learn how to weave willow into structures. I jumped at the chance and spent Saturday working with the others to create a willow wigwam village.

It was great fun and so satisfying as you see results straight away. The amazing thing is that the willow will continue to grow so the wigwams will change from season to season. The new growth and foliage can be woven into the structures to strengthen them.

I think they are fabulous and am so impressed with them that I am considering creating a structure in my garden. Such a low cost way of creating something amazing.
