Such experiences quickly turned into a fascination for plants and nature and an obsession with gardening. What I realised years later when studying horticulture was that fenceposts of living willow had been driven into the ground, which had then sprung to life and grown around the wires that had been attached to them.<br \/>\nThe incredible \u2018life-force\u2019 and flexibility of Willow has been harnessed in numerous ways over the centuries \u2013 indeed Willow is so versatile that it has been described as \u201cLego of the plant world\u201d!<br \/>\nThe Danish sculptor Heinrich Braun has used this endless potential to create a stunning range of willow designs based on our shared philosophy of simplicity, elegance and natural shapes. When I first saw The Willow Wand up close, my involuntary reaction was the same that I have heard on countless occasions since then: \u201cWow!\u201d.<br \/>\nWe loved The Willow Wand so much that we decided to become Heinrich\u2019s UK partners, master the craftsmanship need to make them and launch it in the UK. So many satisfied customers now share our sense of magic and awe that from small beginnings we are now poised to be able to offer our range nationally.<br \/>\nPut simply: The Willow Wand \u2013 Living Art for your Garden.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.willowwand.co.uk\/\">http:\/\/www.willowwand.co.uk\/<\/a>&#8220;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-569543\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/ilo1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"615\" height=\"308\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/ilo1.jpg 615w, https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/ilo1-300x150.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 615px) 100vw, 615px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-569544\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/20617121_269917160161098_6197563750137247145_o.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"615\" height=\"658\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/20617121_269917160161098_6197563750137247145_o.jpg 615w, https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/20617121_269917160161098_6197563750137247145_o-280x300.jpg 280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 615px) 100vw, 615px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-569545\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/19059183_245938465892301_8513969725214732797_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"615\" height=\"1127\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/19059183_245938465892301_8513969725214732797_n.jpg 615w, https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/19059183_245938465892301_8513969725214732797_n-164x300.jpg 164w, https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/19059183_245938465892301_8513969725214732797_n-559x1024.jpg 559w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 615px) 100vw, 615px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-569546\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/19030765_245938462558968_6657447221002973664_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"615\" height=\"920\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/19030765_245938462558968_6657447221002973664_n.jpg 615w, https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/19030765_245938462558968_6657447221002973664_n-201x300.jpg 201w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 615px) 100vw, 615px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-569547\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/19105494_245938459225635_3093809430498900138_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"615\" height=\"820\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/19105494_245938459225635_3093809430498900138_n.jpg 615w, https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/19105494_245938459225635_3093809430498900138_n-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 615px) 100vw, 615px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-569548\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/19030765_245938462558968_6657447221002973664_n-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"615\" height=\"920\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/19030765_245938462558968_6657447221002973664_n-1.jpg 615w, https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/19030765_245938462558968_6657447221002973664_n-1-201x300.jpg 201w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 615px) 100vw, 615px\" \/> \u00a0\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-569551\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/44815408_506289229857222_2784173396710129664_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"615\" height=\"826\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/44815408_506289229857222_2784173396710129664_n.jpg 615w, https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/44815408_506289229857222_2784173396710129664_n-223x300.jpg 223w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 615px) 100vw, 615px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Willow Wand \u2013 beautiful, living art.
