Rainy Williamson

Ainsworth, Bolton. UK, BL2 Biography

I have been working with my homegrown willow for 20 years. On my little smallholding in the north west of England I grow 16 varieties which I use when teaching classes and in my work producing basketry items on a wholesale basis for the floristry and horticultural trades. 

I'm authorised by APHA to issue plant passports and sell willow cuttings in the dormant winter season.

Currently studying CGLI L2 Basketry at Westhope College.
