I like to start a new garden season off with a bang, and maybe a new fence. I like this one, which I built a couple of years ago and then added to it over time; twig lattice fence . It's stood the test of time, but like all twig fences, it's ephemeral and will turn to dust at some point. That's okay, you can always build another one using your coppiced willows or other shrubs. The beauty of this method of pruning is that they grow so well after a hard pruning. Try it, you won't believe how vigorously they grow back.

If you are busy building some rustic crafts we would love to see them; go to the page linked here - scroll to the bottom to see where to share your story and add some pictures.

Join the Rustic And Succulents Group to share your ideas and inspiration, we'd love to have you!

When you've built something you're proud of, brag it up! Most groups love to hear what others have been doing, so share your pictures on there with a write up on the project.
