Hi

I'm about to embark on an arts project involving children in schools
making large cage sculptures (yes I know... ;-))

I've sussed out that those thin green garden canes would be ideal. Here's
a link to the B&Q website to the ones I mean:
http://www.diy.com/diy/jsp/bq/nav/nav.jsp?action=detail&fh_secondid=9371966&fh_location=%2f%2fcatalog01%2fen_GB&fh_search=canes+&fh_eds=%c3%9f&fh_refview=search&ts=1180635309253&isSearch=true

They're 1.2 metres long and cost £2.48 for 15 in B&Q. This seems
expensive. Can anyone recommend a wholesaler who might deliver me about
1000 of them at a cheaper rate (or even better an Edinburgh/Fife-based
supplier)?

Thanks in advance

Perhaps too late in the project but have you considered willow canes. It is
so important to instil an understanding of nature into those small people
that I would have thought that many suppliers would be glad to help with a
discount.:-)

Good fun and a possible solution to the current housing shortage.
