Welcome to Willow Courses, a Musgrove Willows' website

Would you like to...

  • Learn how to weave a traditional basket?
  • Enhance your garden with an arbour or trellis for your Roses and Sweet Peas?
  • Create your own garden structures, weave a hurdle or create a lawn edging?

Why not enjoy a day of activity at a traditional Somerset Willow Growers. See the growing and processing of one of Somerset's oldest crafts. Walk through the "withy fields" and then make your own willow item to be proud of. Musgrove Willows run a variety of courses throughout the year covering basket weaving, hurdle making, garden plant climbers and non-living sculpture. Courses are run by our experienced tutors, all of whom are professional, and often renowned in their field.
