When I started learning basketry (around 2015) it was very hard to find information about harvesting your own natural materials. I started exploring English Ivy (an invasive plant here on Vancouver Island) because I was interested in finding a local alternative to the imported commercial "reed" basketry material I had learned with. Ivy will never really replace reed, but I found it's a lovely material to use in many different applications.
Common Sense Disclaimer: some people have a skin sensitivity to English Ivy.
