Mary Cross

Mary started Organic Matters about five years ago to help people to grow vegetables in their own gardens. Initially to complement the vegetable gardening, she discovered the wonderful world of willow. After doing a few workshops herself she was completely hooked on the most versatile skill of weaving with willow. She’s kept the name as she feels it also applies to the new direction she has taken. She believes it is equally important for us to work with organic materials, not just eat organically. So the willow craft has now taken over completely! Come along and try it for yourself but be warned, working with willow is highly addictive!
