Deeside Willow is a growing family business working out of their smallholding on the edge of the Cairngorm National Park. They fell in love with growing willow over a decade ago after experimenting with a small number of varieties and quickly discovering the amazing versatility of willow, and the positive effects it’s cultivation and use can have on both people and planet.
Growing over 65 varieties of willow, Deeside Willow’s purpose is to support others to be ‘growers’ and ‘makers’ through offerings of living willow, craft willow, willow foliage and catkins for floristry. When not busy in the willow patch, they can be found teaching at community events or in their workshop making crafts for commissions or upcoming local producers’ markets.
