Willow Water: Making the Most of a By-Product
🌱 As a willow artist, soaking willow is part of my creative process — but what happens to the water afterwards? Rather than seeing it as waste, I’ve discovered it can become a natural plant booster rich in growth hormones and resilience-promoting compounds. In this post, I share how I repurpose my soak water for the garden, how you can do the same with your own cuttings, and even explore what happens when willow is soaked in the lake at Birtley. A simple, sustainable loop that connects craft, garden, and nature.
