Our History:

Musgrove Willows was founded by Arthur 'Sam' Musgrove who started by cutting tree sticks for furniture back in the 1930's.

Around this time willow growing was very popular for farmers on the Somerset levels, many farmers grew their willow then bought and sold it at local auctions. Arthur passed on his skills, knowledge and experience to his son Leslie, 'Les', and in turn passed on the family tradition to his son Michael, who now runs the business with his wife Ellen and their son Jack who is Somersets Youngest Willow Grower

Being the third and fourth generation of Willow Growers, Michael and Jack call upon over 65 years of specialised knowledge and experience, handed down to him by his father, grandfather and great grandfather. Michael now presides over nearly 70 acres of perfect willow growing land on the Somerset Levels, recently planting 9 acres of over 50 different varieties of willow. The resulting products can be seen in many unusual guises:

The giant M5 Willow Man
A 28 foot tall Pembrokeshire Otter
On TV for 'Tikkabilla'
'Life On The Levels' and other TV documentaries

As well as being delivered to many destinations worldwide, including:

New Zealand
Denmark
Germany
America
Southern and Northern Ireland
And not forgetting ALL over the UK

As committed producers, we are members of the Basket Makers Association and Somerset Willow in Partnership (SWIP).
