Ewan's new willow den. . . . . finally finished

Postby simlou » Sun Jan 30, 2011 8:34 pm

DH and I have spent ages in the cold making this willow den but think its turned out rather well. Going to be fab in spring once its all sprouted and nice and green rather than bare twigs. Even better it'll live for years (hopefully :giggle: )

Looks great! There's a willow den at Finn's preschool and a willow tunnel in Connor's school playground, the kids love them.

Yep...thats the plan anyway. Keep panicking that it won't grow and we'll just have planted millions of dead twigs :hohoho: Should look like this in summer (fingers crossed)

and then will completely fill out the year after :wine:
