Our Services
LIVING WILLOW STRUCTURES
As well as basket making, we create living willow garden structures using our own willow locally grown in Co. Mayo. The garden structures we make include living willow domes, tunnels, fedges, boats and dried willow houses.
To experience the living willow structures firsthand, visit Balla’s Sensory Garden in County Mayo or take a look at some of the photos below. We also have a range of videos on our social media channels – TikTok & Instagram.
If you would like us to create a living willow structure for your outdoor space you can fill out this form or send us an email and we will be in touch with a quote and to arrange a chat.
