Who we are
About the farm
We have lived on our little smallholding at Ainsworth near Bolton in north-west England since 2000; we planted our first willows in 2006 and now grow more than 14 basketry willow varieties for basket-making and floristry, as well as flowers. From our own willow we hand-weave baskets, wreath bases and other pieces for the home and garden; we offer cut flower bunches in summer and willow cuttings in winter. We sell through our online shop and by pre-arranged collection, and supply florists, gift shops and garden centres wholesale. We run seasonal basketry and wreath-making workshops, by advance booking only.

Write a review
How we check reviews: the reviewer's email address is verified with a confirmation email, and one address can review a farm only once. We do not check whether the reviewer has bought from the farm. Every review is checked by a person before it appears; reviews that are offensive, contain personal data or are not about the farm are not published. The “Producer” label is given only when the email address belongs to a FarmAtlas farm. The farm can reply once.
