- Welcome back to my garden and to the 3rd video in a series of 4 I’ve called “Garden Jobs for Easter”.
Today I’m planting a gorgeous Salix Brauded Willow trained in a harlequin design and here’s a link to a really good video I found on how you can do this yourself if you have access to some willow branch cuttings:

It’s beautiful Janette and it’s beautiful seeing all the stunning daffodils everywhere 🪴🌷🪴
Hi Jasmine. It’s lovely isn’t it? I fell in love at the garden centre. Shame the daffodils don’t last very long. I’m thinking of digging them all up and dividing them this year because quite a few have come up blind so they probably need that. Hope you’re having a happy week 💚
Gorgeous Braided Willow a great addition to your garden.
Thank you so much Ana, I adore it. A Happy Easter to you 💚🐣
Hi Janette, your braided willow is beautiful and looks perfect in your garden.
Good morning Adra and thank you, I just fell in love with them when I saw them last weekend. Hope you have a very Happy Easter Sunday 🐣🐣
Morning Janette! Loving that new plant❤ I hope you and Richard have a very Blessed Easter.
Hi Judy and thank you - it’s pretty spectacular isn’t it, I fell in love when I saw them last week! Happy and peaceful Easter to you 💚
Love all the varieties of daffs 🧡 the willow is cute 😉
Thanks so much Lorraine and I hope you’re having a great Easter Sunday 🐣
Morning Janette. Love it, love it. Great addition to your beautiful garden. How mature your garden is looking with every colour and texture. Delightful. Happy Easter 🧑🌾🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
Good morning Penny! Isn’t it just wonderful. I’m in love 🥰 Happy Easter to you 🐣
Love your willow.
Thank you so much Sunita, I love it so much! Have a great week 💚💚
Happy Easter Janette so glad you bought that gorgeous willow, it will give you so much pleasure xx
I went back and got it after you told me to Julie 😂 and I’m so glad I did! Happy Easter to you 💚
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener 👍👍👏👏
Hi Janette, the daffodils are so beautiful but sad that they disappear so quickly. The Manly is particularly gorgeous. Your braided willow is amazing and how great that you can just chop it off and take it with you if you move house. So lucky your Mum was able to pick it up for you. The grouping of three is perfect. Have a good day. See you tonight. Love Bron xx
Hello Bron, thank you! I fell in love seeing them at the garden centre. I know what you mean about the daffodils and then you have to put up with the leaves dying for ages too which is a pain. But I must admit I usually give up and chop the leaves down to about 4” which you’re not supposed to do but mine seem to come back ok the following year. Hope you had a great Easter 💚
What a stunning willow. Never seen anything like it.
Good morning Sharon, it’s so lovely isn’t it? 💚
Hi Janette! Your braided willow looks fantastic! I’ve never seen one before! ⭐️
Loved seeing all your daffodils. Your garden is just bursting with interesting things! 🌺 🌳 🌸 🪴😃
Thank you so much Fiona, I just fell in love with the braided willow and haven’t seen any for sale before. Hope you’re having a Happy Easter 🐣
Good morning my friend , you have a lot of varieties of daffodils, all beautiful.
But wow that’s a beautiful willow , I like the braided Look .
Good morning to you Max and Happy Easter Sunday 🐣 daffodils are pretty aren’t they? And I just fell in love with the braided willow as soon as I saw it 🥰 have a happy day 💚
Oh wow! I heard seagulls at the end…so you live near the coast. How wonderful is that!❤
Love where you planted your new tree…perfect spot.
Hello there Lindy and thank you, I love the braided willow. I don’t actually live near the sea at all, the coast is about 30 miles away but there are still seagulls! Strange. Anyway I hope you’re having a great Easter 🐣
Happy Easter. Nice to get a look at your daffodils and reminders of spring. Wow, the braided willow is spectacular. It's the nicest one I believe I've ever seen. And you've planted it in the most perfect spot. Thank you for the wonderful Easter Series.
Hello there and thank you so much! I fell in love with them at the garden centre, and thank you for agreeing it’s in the perfect spot because I had it dotted all over in different spots as I couldn’t decide, and then after I’d planted it Richard said it didn’t look right there, and I told him ‘that’s where it’s staying’ 😂 Happy Easter to you 💚
Happy Easter Jeanette, your garden mini series has been marvelous and so joyful. Love you and Richard and mom so much.❤
Oh Pat what a lovely comment, thank you and Happy Easter 💚
Hi Janette I love the braided Willow! It adds such interest n charm to ur already lovely garden💕🥰

sân vườn cây và hoa rất đẹp, cám ơn bạn
Hello there and thank you for joining me in my garden this Easter 💚
I love the Willow!!! Looks great where you planted it. I've never seen one. Everything looks so nice!
Hi Peggy and thank you so much, I just fell in love when I saw them last weekend. Hope you had a fabulous Easter 💚
What an intriguing looking plant! It looks right at home in your lovely garden. 🌷🕊️🪻 Happy Easter!
Hello JC, it’s very lovely isn’t it? Never seen them for sale before so I just had to grab one. Hope you’re having a happy Easter Sunday 🐣
Hello 👋 Janette, omg I love your new willow, it’s gorgeous 🤩. I’ve never seen one before, it’s really looking beautiful in your garden, what a statement 👌.
Hi Elizabeth, I fell in love at the garden centre!! Lovely isn’t it? 💚💚
🤩🫶
Hi Janette, love the braided willow must look out for one. Enjoy your week ❤x
Hi there Helen. I really fell in love with this when I saw it, do hope you find one. I’ve had one garden friend viewer who sent me a picture as she managed to find one and bought it! Maybe I’ve set a new trend 👍🥳
I saw you had gone with your Mum to the garden I’m glad she was able to get the willow for you it’s very neat, your landscape is gorgeous, Happy Easter to you and Richard 💐
Thank you so much Cynthia, yes I had posted our visit on Instagram. I’m trying to do more on Instagram too. I was so happy she went back to get one for me. Have a Happy Easter 💚🐣
Loved the daffodils Janette, especially the doubles. I don’t have many bulbs in my garden as I don’t like it when the leaves have to be left to die off but they look so pretty when in flower. I’d seen those Willow structures in garden centres but not as nice as yours - twisted not braided. It did look so nice planted up. Enjoying the Easter series 😊
Hi there Pamela and thank you, I’d never seen those braided willows for sale either but fell in love at first sight 🩷 I too hate the leaves after the daffodils flower. I must admit I always cut them down to about 4” which you’re not supposed to do, but they still come back. Hope you’re having a happy Easter 🐣
Happy Easter morning
I'm up so late these days🥴 love your new braided willow. What a beautiful way to use the stems. The garden is gorgeous. I will be ordering Thalia in bulk soon for autumn. Yours are great. I am having fun in my garden too. Repotting,trimming and freshening up. Off to buy a couple of Lazio planters tomorrow or Tuesday. Thank you for an enjoyable (as always) vlog😊Lots of love❤🐣🐇👏☘️💞
Hi Sharon and those Thalia are going to look gorgeous for you! Glad to hear you’re getting lots done in your garden too. I love those Lazio planters, very pretty. Love my new braided willow, gorgeous isn’t it? See you tomorrow and Happy Easter 💚
Hi Janette. I like your new plant , Good spot you chose
Morning Olga and thank you! I adore it. Have a Happy Easter 🐣
Hello Janette! Happy Easter 🐣. What a beautiful specimen plant. Love where you put it. Enjoy!! ❤
Hey Lauren and thank you so much! I fell in love immediately when I saw these at the garden centre. Just had to have one! Happy Easter to you 💚
I have one of those it was a lot smaller and it's in a pot they do like water ..That's a lovely one had mine for a few years now ..Your garden looks lovely and we are only just going into spring 😊😊
Hello there Wendy, I saw the smaller versions at the garden centre too, adorable. I watched quite a lot of videos on how to make them and they said they’re very thirsty so I’ll bare that in mind! Thanks for watching and Happy Easter 💚
Nice spring garden！
Thank you so much Linda and have a lovely week 💚💚
Happy Easter. What an interesting tree, looks really nice. When you mentioned the daffs facing the wrong way, I was thinking, that's so you can see them from the house. I bought some really fabulous glads a few yrs ago, they all bloomed facing the fence, what a bummer.
Haha isn’t that typical Wende! You can’t force Mother Nature’s hand can you?! Hope you’re having a very Happy Easter 🐣
Nice willow Janette, I got a Pink Flamingo Salix last year to train as a standard but I don't think its made it through the winter. I have moved it to the the sunniest and sheltered spot on the patio and fed it. 🤞The daffodils and the pulmonaria are beautiful together. Thanks for sharing bfn. 🐞🌻🌱
I had a beautiful Salix Pink Flamingo too but mine didn’t survive past its first year either. I am babying this one with my 🤞 and they like loads of water which is probably why my other one died and I didn’t water it enough. 💚🩷
Happy Easter Janette ... Well that is a very interesting plant . I don't think that I have ever seen one of those before . I like it and it looks good where you placed it .... Yelp interesting !!!
Hello Shirlene, I had never seen them for sale but fell in love when I found them last weekend. Glad you like it. Happy Easter Sunday 💚
Hi Jeannette. Finally found where I can add a comment! Your Easter jobs are great videos! We tried the Harlequin Willow but it was very hard to keep it upright! I'll be very interested to see how it goes planted in the ground as I thought it had to stay in the pot! You found the perfect place for it! Happy Easter from Laois in the centre of Ireland!
Oh I will have to see if I can find where to comment on my TV! Maybe you can! I don’t know if you can plant the harlequins in the ground … I just went ahead and did it anyway 😂 time will tell I guess 👍🤔 glad you like the placement too because Richard stood at the back door after I’d done it and said I’d put it in the wrong place! But I told him, no, I like it there and it’s not moving 😂💚🐣
Hi Janette, I love your new willow. In the past, I have seen them at garden centres, but I have never been too sure. However, after seeing how lovely your one looks I might think about getting one in the future. I still need to try the cloud pruning at some point. I am also still fighting of box caterpillars. Nasty little beasts. 😟 I should have done what you did and stopped planting box. Looking forward to the next video 😊
Hello Pauline, I had never seen those braided willows for sale anywhere until last weekend, we turned the corner in the garden centre and I thought wow! I hope you get one too. And give the cloud pruning a go because it always grows back if you make a mistake and don’t like it. Sorry you have the box caterpillars, as you know I really did try with mine but 2 years later my little euonymus plants have grown such a lot and they are on the way to being the same size as the boxwoods were so now I’m pleased I got rid of them. It’s a tough decision because plants are expensive. Anyway, hope you had a wonderful Easter weekend 🐣💚
Beautiful, Janette! It is like a piece of artwork in your garden!
Hey Tamara, it’s just so lovely isn’t it? Fell in love on first sight 😂 so pleased you like it. Happy Easter 💚
A very Happy Easter to you dear Janette, Richard and Lottie 🐾❤️ I absolutely love the willow 😍. Sending a hug xx
Thank you so much Val, I love it too. Happy Easter to you too 💚
The daffodils are stunning. So many beautiful varieties. I love the willow tree. I've never seen anything like it. Your garden is coming along so beautifully. Mines finally waking up. My tulips and daffodil blooms are gone. I wish they lasted longer. Have a Happy Easter to you and Richard. I hope you have a blessed day and week.
Hello there, I had never seen them for sale either and I turned the corner in the garden centre, saw them and fell in love immediately. My tulips so far are not very spectacular at all, but the daffodils never disappoint. I have alliums growing too which are my favourite so they will be open in May fingers crossed 🤞 Happy Easter to you 💚
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener Thank you. My tulips were beautiful but never last as long as I wish. lol and yes daffodils are definitely a favorite. I love alliums but they say they don’t do well here. It’s just to hot in summertime. We don’t even have them in the garden centers. I’ll enjoy yours☺️
I love the willow and can see how you fell in love with it. I’d love to try and do one but I don’t know where any willow trees would be. Better yet I’d love to find one. Maybe my favorite nursery will have them. Yours is in a beautiful spot. I can’t wait to see how it does. X
Your daffodils look lovely. I did a bulb lasagne with what what were supposed to be Delnashaugh daffodils, lovely creamy petals with an apricot pink center, and got yellow ones instead, so I don't know what happened there. I guess the freshly bought bulbs weren't as fresh as I hoped. :)
Hi there Paula and thanks for joining me in my garden! You just never really know what to expect with bulbs do you? I hope you’ve had a really great Easter 🐣
Happy Easter to you both 🐣 . That willow is lovely. Do you think you could do that with weeping willow branches? My daughter has an ancient weeping willow, which I could harvest from🤔 😅
Worth a try anyway 😊😊
@kimfox5186 yes I’m sure you can. Here’s a link to the best video I watched on how to do it:
ruclips.net/video/r9PUTih0NzU/видео.htmlsi=xv5JawhHKOUONfER
I hope you have a good Kim, it looks a lot of fun. Happy Easter 💚
@wendymitchell4004 I think so too! Happy Easter to you 💚
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener thank you 😃
Love the braided willow. I have purchased a weeping pussy willow this year and have been cautioned about root growth being aggressive. The roots will reach for water and can cause damage. I am going to plant mine in a large container as a precaution.
Hi there Cathy and thanks for the tip about the roots which I did not realise. I do know they’re very thirsty plants so I’ll be sure to water but it’s very gorgeous isn’t it? Hope you’re having a Happy Easter 💚
Just found you as i was looking for info on the braided willow .
Here in Canada they are for sale at Costco !
Exactly the same . I’m hoping it’s a hardy plant as we have very cold winters .
Incidentally i am originally from Essex …innit !
Hello there Maggie and thanks so much for finding my channel 🩵 it’s so lovely to have a new gardening friend. And you have a braided willow too! I haven’t seen them for sale before and I fell in love on immediate sight and just had to have one. When I google it tells me they are very frost hardy, but will be much less hardy if they are in a pot, so might be better in the ground for you. Also I’ve noticed little shoots popping up further down the stems so I’m making sure to rub those off if I see them. And they like water, water, and then more water 😊 hope you have a very happy day. Where did you live in Essex? I am in Langdon Hills, about 30 miles from the City of London 🩵🌺
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener Hi Jeanette
Do you think i should repot my willow ? or plant directly in the ground .It also looks a bit dry ,i believe they require large amounts of water .Thanks .
They definitely want tons of water all the time. I’m wondering if it would be better for you in the ground but then again I don’t know how low your winter temperatures get? But I found this really interesting site which I’m hoping will help you:
thewovenwillow.co.uk/faqs
I hope that helps 🩵
Love your willow but I think you should have keep it in pot as roots spread a lot 🙈
Hi there Joyce, I think it will be ok. Just googled and it says “Even if planted in the ground, the ‘bonsai effect’ of trimming the tops of your Wand means the root run stays proportionate in size, so never get too big either. The stem will also say fixed in length.” So I think it’s going to be fine. But thanks so much for the warning. Hope you’re having a great Easter Sunday 🐣
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener I’m happy to hear that ,it’s so beautiful,I’m going to try to make one,thank you so much for taking time to answer,happy Easter to you both 🐣🐣🍀
Oh Joyce do let me know how it goes. Here’s a link to the best video I found on how to do it yourself :

Happy Easter! I was just wondering how big does your willow branches get? Here willow trees get huge. If you keep pruning does it keep the size down? There is are a problem here Canada, with the roots getting into drainage pipes, they crave water. They are beautiful in parks, and along country roads. My Dad always said keep willow trees away from your house. I don’t mean to sound negative, because I really like your plant. I don’t always do what my Dad said, but…most of the time I do.
Hello Nancy and thanks for your comments. These willow branches are never going to grow taller, they’ll stay the exact same size as now, and it’s just the shoots and new leaves which grow or die off in the winter and regrow again in Spring. I’m not sure though how bushy it’s actually going to get, but I think if it’s too bushy at the top then I can trim it a bit. That’s what I’ve been researching anyway. I hope I’m right! 😂 they do crave water though I’m told. Have a happy Easter 🐣
Good. I must check them out. Thanks for telling me.
Yes, it says “Even if planted in the ground, the ‘bonsai effect’ of trimming the tops of your Wand means the root run stays proportionate in size, so never get too big either. The stem will also say fixed in length.” 💚
if you take the willow sculpture as a bunch of flowers , or an annual , or a bulb OK makes sense .Rip it out after a years or so and plant it in a park . But as a long term plant , its a very vigorous ,"competitive" tree that will overpower everything you have in your garden unless you like a lot of maintenance . If you have lots of space ( for 10M native trees) for trees great why not .booohhh soz , that's some bad party poop there , forgive me , its easter ;)
Hi Alan, never fear, I have researched these braided willow stems which confirms “Even if planted in the ground, the ‘bonsai effect’ of trimming the tops of your Wand means the root run stays proportionate in size, so never get too big either. The stem will also say fixed in length.” So both the roots and height are forced into staying under control. But, thank you for worrying about mine, I have faith it’s going to be ok!! 👍😊 hope you had a Happy Easter 💚
