The Willow We Weave

Weaving Willow is a little like life with it's challenging knots & willow whipping everywhere.   But once it is woven,  you have a beautiful orb, even if it is a little lopsided.

A number of MN Herb Society members spent Monday at Heidi Doering's willow farm in Roberts,  WI.  Heidi showed  us the varieties of willow she grows on her charming 3 acre farm.  She harvests the willow in the dead of winter and had much willow knowledge to share with us.  We had a beautiful day to weave.
