Thanks for the message Dan.

I think this forum that you started all that time ago is something you can be proud of. :)

Well I spoke to Anna today at Gardening leave.

She is so thrilled at us doing this and wants to thank you all.

They want to do there own Willow weaving and they would really like to be able to buy willow cuttings of 12 different varieties.

After they have planted the cuttings they want to purchase some Mipex ? ground cover/weed suppressant.

Anna would like to send up pictures of the project as it goes along.

So that is their main wish and it will be lovely to see the pictures of a project we have funded so no need to vote folks LOL  ;D


Will we make a special album for these??

The grand total is around £630!  I think that is really terrific as I was somewhat optimistic that we would perhaps raise £300 when we started.  :)
