The hardest part is getting started

The hardest part is getting started

Ján Zeman

This old and truthful saying has been tried and tested by life. However, for true enthusiasts, it is just another challenge and a goal for all their efforts. When Tomáš Mikolaj from ÚĽUV came to see me at the end of February to ask me whether I would take part in a meeting in Vrbovce (Myjava district) concerning the project of growing a willow plantation, I was surprised. It was more out of curiosity than interest that I went there with some friends, students of my basket-making course Peter Beňo and Štefan Oslej. On a piece of land next to the football pitch we met the basket-maker Miroslav Mareček from Vrbovce, whose idea it was to grow a willow plantation, and the mayor of the village, Dušan Eliáš.
