Here at WinterWillow we buy most of our willow from Somerset, where the UK willow industry is based on the Somerset Levels.
The majority of the willow we use is Salix trianda or Black Maul. We may use other varieties from time to time, especially for colour variations.
Most of the willow in our coffins is from one year old growth, with a few rods of two year old growth being used in the lid and the locking bar...

Hanging Baskets
at WinterWillow
Ask us to send you a printed copy of our retail basketry catalogue.
Use our contact us page for the request.
Each WinterWillow hanging basket is individually hand made in our own workshops.
We can supply the basket or fill it with a liner and flowers/plants.
See our brochure for details.
The conical shape provides very good drainage for the plants, as well as offering a great handle for re-hanging or positioning your basket after maintenance.
The double twist hanging loop provides strong, secure fixing for your basket when full of flowers.
