Our Story...
Ian was a lover of nature, crafts & basket weaving. He started growing a variety of willow on his property in Middle River, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, back in 2013, mainly to use for his own basket making.
Sadly Ian passed away 10th April 2022, from esophegus cancer after a 2 year battle.
His wife, Lisa, decided to try to continue his hard work by harvesting the beautiful willow he grew & selling the rods to fellow basket makers.
Lisa is a complete novice! (She is a full time Antiques Dealer!) So cannot give any advice at this time.
Lisa found a list of names of the willow Ian grew:
Americana, Koriyanagi, Hutchinsons Yellow, Flame, Black Maul and Acutifolia
(which is a deep purple with a bluish bloom on the live stems).
