This past Sunday, a group of us gathered in Warkworth at the Branch Ranch to learn how to create our very own Peony Crowns out of willow. Jessica York, owner of the Branch Ranch, provided excellent instructions and supports–a wonderful day of creativity was enjoyed by all.

The fun begins…weaving the base around the uprights give strength and structure to the final crown.
Once the structure is solid, we began to create the curves that will add support and embellishment to the final crowns
Really getting there!
Our crowns completed–and a fabulous day of learning a new skill was had by all
In situ…now we just have to wait for the peony to wake up and start growing!
