Testimonials

Musgrove Willows has been supplying top quality willow and willow products to customers for decades. Willow products are made by our talented weavers with willow grown on our Somerset farm. It makes all the difference.

“Thank you so much for your advice for my first purchase of willow. The lady that I spoke to on the phone before I placed the order was extremely knowledgeable and couldn’t have been more helpful. Yes the Brittany green does go black when soaked, but in the finished baskets it dries a lovely colour. I’m totally amazed at what I have made, considering I’ve only been on a one day basket course! As you can see, I am now hooked and will be back for more willow when I’ve finished this batch.”

“What a fantastic day I had yesterday! Thank you all so much. Rachel (Hutton) is an amazing tutor… her knowledge, guidance and patience was greatly appreciated. I am so pleased with my foraging basket, it is for my son who lives in Finland where foraging is a big part of his life. A great day all round and the lunch… well, delicious. Thank you Jack for the very tasty soup etc.”
