Just a reminder that I am taking willow cuttings o Just a reminder that I am taking willow cuttings orders now. The willows look like that nice Green Dicks in the first photo right now. Hopefully I will be harvesting many bundles soon and turning the larger rods into cuttings like in the second photo. All of the details are on our website on the willow cuttings page. The website takes a little concentration to get through the text, but please make an effort if you are interested in our cuttings. Minimum order is 100 cuttings. USA only. Orders will ship late February through April. Thanks to everyone that has already ordered. You will hear back from me but please be patient. . #dunbargardens #farmtobasket #skagitvalley #basketrywillow #willowcuttings
Katherine was honored to be a featured artist in t Katherine was honored to be a featured artist in the latest National Basketry Organization magazine basketry+. As most people will know, you have to provide the images for articles so hopefully they represented Katherine’s work well. I’ve posted photos here of the two page spreads in 1 to 3; then the title page with Katherine’s rope coil baskets; next the cover of the issue with Carol Eckert’s beautiful work; next are 3 photos that were submitted but not used; finally two photos that were slightly cropped in the magazine including one of my favorite portraits of Katherine. Katherine is someone who identifies more as a crafts person than an artist so it’s always interesting being interviewed by someone that’s not familiar with her medium. How do people think it turned out? . #willowbasketmaker #katherinelewis #willowbaskets #dunbargardens #farmtobasket #nbomember #nationalbasketryorganization
Happy Winter Solstice! This time of year we can en Happy Winter Solstice!

Speed walk through the willows when the sun came o Speed walk through the willows when the sun came out after days of rain. Just a post to let everyone know that we fortunately have not been directly effected by the massive flooding in our area. Our hearts go out to those that have been impacted. We appreciate the efforts of many people that are working to maintain dikes and utilities that keep us safe. . #dunbargardens #basketrywillow #coppice #salix #skagitvalley
It’s always nice to see the brilliant colors of th It’s always nice to see the brilliant colors of the willows when the sun shines this time of year. Most of the leaves have fallen now and we can walk between the rows to have a better look. Just a reminder that we will be selling willow cuttings again this year though we have moved the opening date back to January 1. You are certainly welcome to email questions before. All of the info is on our website willow cuttings page. We have a higher minimum order than most of the willow cuttings sellers but that helps keep the price a little more reasonable for those wanting a good size planting. . #basketrywillows #coppice #salix #dunbargardens #farmtobasket #skagitvalley
Katherine delivered these two willow log baskets t Katherine delivered these two willow log baskets this past weekend. We are in the middle of our typical gray wet fall weather which can make it a challenge to get a nice photo of the baskets at the last minute. The large one made with Salix purpurea Dicky Meadows in an English randing side weave and Salix triandra Noir de Villaines stakes still looks good against some fallen leaves. The regular size was made with Salix americana and probably Salix purpurea Packing Twine though labels came off during the soaking process which is pretty common. Beautiful baskets that will give many years of use made from nothing more than willow rods grown on our farm. . #willowbaskets #willowbasketmaker #katherinelewis #dunbargardens #farmtobasket #skagitvalley #basketsmadetobeused #nbomember #nwdesignercraftartists
