Decorative Wattle Fencing

May I present the easiest, most satisfying, whimsical garden project?

Mini wattle fencing!

Take big sticks, put in ground about 6-8 inches apart, fill with spare branches! It’s super cute, and surprisingly fast. And oh so satisfying.

Pictures don’t convey the amazingness.

I even had a neighbor (who I don’t know) cross the street with her dog to tell me how much she loved them. She said they’re “cottage-y” and whimsical. Which is what I want in my life so I’m considering it a win.

Most of the branches were from when I pruned the new growth off of my Magnolia tree:

Your wattle fencing is charming as all get-out! I have always loved this kind of fencing and am envious that you get to have it. If you do decide to take a close-up still photo, I’d love to see it added!

This looks so nice! I love the organic feel of it.

Great idea and yours looks great! I have some grapevine that would be perfect to do a little fencing of my own. . .

Grapevine works perfect! My coworker is busy harvesting his for the same purpose!

So cute! And you gave me ideas to try to use the red willow in the vacant lot next door to make natural plant trestles…

I did this around my mailbox one year with saplings I had cleared from the back part of my property, but that was a much smaller length of fence than you have! It looks great!

Come to think of it, my mailbox needs some sprucing up, and my pussywillow needs to be trimmed back…
