Willow wigwam workshop

Get ready for growing season by making a structure for your peas, whilst learning a new skill

Learn how to bend, shape and fix coppiced willow into a useful structure for your veg patch.

Part of the series Seeds for Growth: walks, talks and workshops on nature reconnection.

Also known as a pea teepee, willow wigwam or obelisk, we'll be making a structure from willow that, depending on style, will be about a metre tall, ideal for climbing peas up or supporting flowers.

The workshop will take place outside in the Chunk Community Garden behind Chunk cafe.

Please dress for an outside winter workshop. We will be standing up to make these, although there is room for 4 participants to be seated on benches to make theirs if they wish.

All materials provided, no experience necessary.

Chunk cafe offers delicious vegan bakes, food and coffees; perfect for warming up during or after the session.

The session will be followed by a tree planting sessions by our volunteers, which participants are welcome to stay for.
