Willow Bed Establishment & Care Guide
Couldn't load pickup availability
This is a Simple and straightforward guide to help you establish your own Willow patch.
We’ve compiled the tips, tricks and pitfalls we encountered as we planted our first willow bed.
Some of the topics covered include soils and ground preparation, weed management, how to plant, common pests, tools, as well as how to care for your cuttings before planting.
We talk specifically about the requirements of different willow varieties - plant spacing, ideas about access and how to manage your harvest into the future.
We grow in South Otago, New Zealand so our experience is based on our specific environment, although most of the information will be applicable in any situation we would always advise to try and find growers local to you for extra support!
This guide is delivered as a downloadable pdf emailed to you once purchased.
The guide is printable, but please restrict to your own personal use, it is not for resale or distribution.

here are some answers
The plants I want are out of stock!?
We are constantly sowing and growing on a whole range of plants. If the plant you are after is not available on the website, please get in touch, you may be in luck or we can advise on a good alternative or even grow for you to order.
Can you ship plants to my address?
Currently our focus is on providing plants to our local communities, for us this is from Dunedin to Invercargill, we will hand deliver plants to either your address or to our depot in Invercargill for you to collect.
The exception to this is seeds and dry goods which we are happy to post anywhere in New Zealand.
All orders are also able to be collected from our Farm Shop 24/7, free of charge.

At this point we are not certified organic. However we do operate organically, using holistic and regenerative processes. We do not use any herbicides, pesticides, fungicides etc that are harmful to us, our environment or our wildlife.
