Another typically Polish accent of the landscape - willow trees. When you pass the Polish border, you can spot them even from the motorway. Sometimes standing alone, sometimes in characteristic raws, especially along rivers. Most of them grow wild. Once people believed them to be home to evil powers. It comes as no surprise as some of the oldest trees often remind of scary creatures from fairy tales. I am sure it rings a bell to you. Let's take the Disney Pocahontas, for example. Willow trees are believed to be one of the most durable trees. You can grow them almost everwhere from a branch put in the ground if only the soil is permeable enough. Willow trees also prefer areas rich in water. Their branches are famous for their flexibility. Once people used them to weave baskets and other everyday objects. Today, the idea of the so called living architecture, that is building constructions from branches that keep on living, go green and grow, has become very popular. I, myself, have taken part in a workshop where a playground was constructed. To get to know more about living architecture, the workshop and its master Jacek Gądek, check in here: http://viktoriatucholka.weebly.com/my-space/in-the-lense-willow-without-borders
