Willow Ball

Made this last year and grew peas through it...Kept the cats off them a treat...I didn't think it would have lasted this long.

It was a 14" diameter Pot it sat on, so this will be about
17"/18" at the widest.. I may try one in red Cornus see how that looks.

That looks really good Pimp, what a good idea! I can imagine a few of them lining the sides of a long path, mounted on a tripod with sweet peas growing through them. How did you manage to get them so round? - not easy??? Might have to have a go myself Ive added this to my faves.

It was one of the mini ones that gave me the idea Amy..
Once you get three good strong circles the rest are easy Poppy, I like your Idea for the sweet peas.
If the Cornus doesn't bend as much as the willow..I could make the frame in willow use the odd bit of Cornus for detail..I think HB

These would also make great garden ornaments...like they use them indoors.
I can see these sitting on a nice patio area :)
