Next time you’re in Shakespeare Garden, look closer at the fences! Every single one, branch by branch, was handcrafted. 🌿

Howard Peller (aka H.P., aka “Willow Fellow”) is a farmer and artist who hand-weaves living structures from willow branches. This ancient craft known as wattle weaving has been used for thousands of years to build everything from houses to baskets. In Shakespeare Garden, these natural fences protect delicate plantings while supporting the local ecosystem, and add a little hand-made charm to the idyllic space.

Head to Shakespeare Garden and see them for yourself! 🌸 💚
