Gardening Question

Patient, sounds like a lovely rock garden. I can’t wait to actually get things growing in mine. The beds have all been weeded and the new bed has been dug and shaped (it has a curved edge, which wasn’t easy to plan out).

My biggest challenge is to do this on a budget. I don’t have money to blow on flowers and shrubs…or mulch and topsoil.

My neighbor is moving and broke of a piece of her corkscrew willow for me. She told me that it will grow roots if I leave it in a bucket of water - then I can plant it. I don’t know if it’s true and I can’t find anything on the topic of getting trees to root from cut branches. It’s been in the bucket for a week. If anyone has advice on this tree, please share.
