In need of a haircut? It was time for the annual p In need of a haircut? It was time for the annual pruning of the living willow hut that was originally planted in 2011 on the farm with Salix purpurea Eugene rods. First photo is halfway through after pruning while standing on the ground. Second is actuallly a couple months back when I pruned off some larger rods. Third photo is after I got a ladder to trim the top. Fourth is some new growth. . #livingwillowstructures #salix #dunbargardens #skagitvalley
Katherine’s willow bark basket was juried into the Katherine’s willow bark basket was juried into the Northwest Designer Craftartists exhibit at Allied Arts Gallery at the Park in Richland, WA which will be open March 31 - May 1. The exhibit is part of Handwork 2026 which is a national celebration of craft by Craft in America. I have posted images before of this “Treasure Box”. Second exhibit it has been chosen for so others must like it as much as we do. . #willowbark #willowbasketmaker #katherinelewis #nwdesignercraftartists #handwork2026
Slowly we’re getting through the willow harvest an Slowly we’re getting through the willow harvest and making cuttings to ship out. We had a few nice spring like days and I was lucky to have Katherine helping me in the field. I am running behind on the cuttings orders and appreciate people’s patience. If you are a customer anxious to plant, you can always send an email about your order. Though I’m not taking any new orders! . #basketrywillow #willowcuttings #dunbargardens #farmtobasket #skagitgrown
Putting my new “Wonders of Willow” mug to work thi Putting my new “Wonders of Willow” mug to work this week while making cuttings for orders. Thanks to Erin @fieldandforestcrafts for inviting me to give a presentation at the wonderful event she organized last weekend at the impressive @sky_nursery. Katherine and I had a great time though we forgot to take any photos so I can’t even show you what I looked like in action. I appreciated Erin’s partner Christopher for setting up the audio visuals. He is quite the gardener as well @seattlegardener. It was fun to meet Zak @salixsolutions who is a good contact for anyone working with native willows in the northwest. Finally met Alana and Michael from @willamette.willows in person and traded a few cuttings. Another good source for willow cuttings in the Pacific Northwest. Nice to see other cuttings customers at the event doing some teaching or networking like Melissa @oysterbayfarm, Shannon @whatcomwillowworks, Kaisha @hedgerow_willows and Radha @marrowstone_willow. I checked out the @agroforestrynorthwest table as well though Carrie didn’t seem to know who I was even though she has been to my farm three times to pick up cuttings for her farm clients. One of them was at my talk Diane Bell who is growing willow @rootednwagrivillage. Also briefly met David and June from Sandy, Oregon who are growers and weavers of willow @junebug_jacobson. I’m back to our willows that you can see in the video clip making cuttings to ship out. Meanwhile out in the field early bloomers like Stewartstown are starting to open. I caught an Anna’s Hummingbird feeding on open flowers. . #basketrywillow #willowcuttings #salix #dunbargardens #farmtobasket
Where’s Steve? He is getting pulled out of the fie Where’s Steve? He is getting pulled out of the field to give a presentation on his experience growing willow for Katherine’s baskets this Sunday at noon at Sky Nursery in Seattle as part of the Wonders of Willow event. Katherine is coming too and we will have some of her baskets along as well. Hopefully Steve’s voice will hold up for the talk since it’s been so raspy after all the radiation treatments last year. Now to spend some time getting ready! . #basketrywillow #willowcoppice #salix #dunbargardens #farmtobasket
