In recent years, there has been a growing recognition of the importance of outdoor learning in education. It's no secret that the natural world provides a rich and dynamic setting for fostering curiosity, creativity, and hands-on experiences. Living willow structures offer a unique opportunity to enhance school grounds and create engaging spaces for students to connect with nature while learning. This page explores the many benefits of incorporating living willow structures into schools and educational environments.
The Beauty of Living Willow
Living willow structures are not just functional; they are living works of art. These structures are created by planting live willow rods that grow into a lush and flexible framework. The result is an enchanting and organic structure that evolves with the seasons. From tunnels and domes to fences and outdoor classrooms, the possibilities are limited only by imagination.

Joe is an expert at regularly managing the willow walk which curves along my garden. He also tidies away everything and takes great care to leave clematis and honeysuckle tendrils that are weaving in and out of the willow arches in place. I am always extremely pleased with the end result.

Amazing service! Willow Joe came in to school to breathe live in to our very broken Willow House. The house is now thriving again. Thank you for understanding how important it was that we kept the original willow as well. I highly recommend this company for new projects and to maintain your current willow structures.

We received an email from Joe detailing the living willow structures and services and gave him a call. He was able to create a beautifully woven willow circle to enclose our school forest school fire circle and create a tunnel that the children can play in. We were amazed how efficient and great Joe and the team were when they arrived on site. Since then we have been given details of care and maintainence too. A great service and we are really pleased wth our willow!

Tornedale Infant School contracted Joe from Living Willow Services to construct a Living Willow Tunnel in our Key Stage 1 Outdoor Area last year. Joe is very knowledgeable in this field and provides an excellent service thoroughly supporting school in the whole process. The children have loved watching and exploring the various stages of this living tunnel. Highly recommend
