Difficult? No!
Just stick a stick in the ground and it will take. Easier than breathing

Willow grows itself, specially if the land is wet(ish). As 2Sheds says, just find the type you want and stick a bit of it in the ground.

That's good news. I saw the land for the first time yesterday, and there's a lovely bit that is often quite boggy. Sounds like it would be perfect.

You could combine the two - weaving and growing. The nursery school just round the corner from me has woven themselves a 'living dome' out of willow. They started with plain willow sticks which they wove into the shape they wanted - in their case, an actual dome about five feet high - and the willow rooted itself and has continued to grow, so they now have a dome which grows its own leafy canopy. It is quite beautiful and makes a shady sort of living hut for the little kids to play in.
