Скачать или смотреть The Wonder of Willow

Welcome to Coates English Willow, where history, craftsmanship, and sheer marketing ingenuity combine to turn humble trees into an attraction.

Southwold, on the other side of the country is the spiritual home of the wicker basket, in my experience. This quintessential English seaside town is home to a bevy of upright middle-class ladies, bustling through the tourists with sternly practical wicker baskets filled with their shopping.

But, this is the place responsible, Somerset’s premier destination for watching wood. Established in 1819, the Coates family had a simple ambition—to grow willow. Fast forward 200 years, and suddenly, it’s a tourist experience.
