Growing Willow in an Urban Garden

  • 21 Acres 13701 Northeast 171st Street Woodinville, WA, 98072 United States (map)

Willow loves the Pacific Northwest - not too hot, not too cold and lots of water. With at least 30 native species and 100’s of non-native cultivars to choose from - consider adding fast growing, dynamic, and resilient willow to your urban garden.

No, I’m not talking about the swaying branches of weeping willow. I’m talking about it’s smaller multi-stemmed Salix relatives that can offer color, coverage, garden support materials, and basketry or wild crafting supplies. There are hundreds of willow species and hundreds more cultivars - there are so many willows to get to know.

Learn more about how willow grows, what it needs to thrive, how to keep it happy (and not in your sewer!), and ways you can take advantage of its plentiful and annually renewable rods.

Trellises, living fences, wattle fences, cloches, homemade rooting hormone, obelisks, shade, bark, baskets, bean teepees, wreathes, winter interest, cut flowers, and more.

Locally grown organic willow cuttings (several varieties) will be available for sale. $2/cutting (industry standard is $2.50-$3.50 per cutting plus shipping) while supplies last.
