This year we used some of our colourful willow to make sculptures. Douglas the roe deer was commissioned for a conference on “Wilding gardens” at Manchester University. After featuring on stage at the conference, he has taken up residence among the trees.
A group of volunteers created the deer over several days in January; they also made a fox, birds and hares.
Willow doesn’t last very many years out of doors – but we love Douglas and would love to have more art in the woods.
