National Willow Bed Trail

National willow bed trail

We have been busy collating all the data from those that told us they grow willow in the UK and would like to host a visit for our National willow bed trail. You will see a map below of all those that have offered to take part. I think you’ll agree there is quite a nice spread of willow growers around the UK. These range from very small plots up to an acre. If you would like to visit a willow grower in your area then please get in touch with them. All their details are shown below the map.

We hope those that are interested in willow growing and possibly growing your own will go along and support these members.
