Wood, Cynthia

Abstract:

Wattle fences and wickets were features of historic gardens, but they can be useful to modern tillers of the soil. Traditional wattle fences and wickets were made from willow and beech. However, the author noted honeysuckle and grape vines, as well as pruned limbs and branches, can be utilized. To further encourage usage, she asserted the easy construction of a wattle fence or wicket, as well as their decorative potential.
