British handmade willow stuctures

Claire & Julian Askham-Conroy have spent many years in the Agricultural / Horticultural industry growing a wide range of crops as well as working in the plant retail sector.

In 1999 we planted willow at our new nursery close to Milton Keynes with a view to producing enough willow to weave baskets & living structures from our home in the old village of Milton Keynes. We are now one of the UK’s leading suppliers of living willow structures and willow cuttings. We make bespoke living willow structures, woven willow planters, tellis, obelisks, willow rods, hurdles through to windbreaks, hedging, biofuel, colour & basketry

Year by year we have added new willows and now grow over 130 varieties including willows for ornamental & Short Rotation Coppice.

Over the last ten years we have sold more and more willow & willow products year by year as well as building a range of bespoke living willow structures all over the UK in Hospitals, Theme parks, Schools and in Kew Gardens.

Weaving Workshops are held most months here in the old village of Milton Keynes. 

In early spring 2008 we were instructed by del Buono Gazerwitz ltd to supply woven willow  hurdles and by Spencer Fung Architects to weave panels  for the ceiling of the garden room for the Daylesford Organic Garden, 'Summer Solstice' at Chelsea 2008. The garden received much attention from the media, including Alan Titchmarsh, and was awarded a  'Silver Gilt' ( Flora)
