15th Heathrow Bonsai Show 2026

Another fabulous event as ever, which year on year continues to bring together such a great group of bonsai enthusiasts with such amazing bonsai trees. 

The changes over the last 15 years have been incredible, from the humble start in the scout hut in 2011 to now holding one of the most well-attended shows in the UK at Bracknell Leisure Centre, hosting such high-quality club member trees from so many clubs throughout the UK.

Tree critique

This evening, members were invited to bring in the trees that have been in their collection that they do not know how to progress with.

This was an ideal opportunity for club members to get some different ideas from the entire club, all at once.

Club visit to David Cheshire Nursery

Another lovely club trip to David Cheshire Nursery at Mill Hill, Baginton, near Coventry. CV8 3AG. Even the weather was on our side. A quick look at the main display area and then David gave us a guided tour of the ‘out of bounds’ growing areas……… in fact I think that Barry is STILL ferreting around there, looking for the best ones……….. https://www.davidcheshirenurseries.co.uk/

Wanborough Country Show 2026

Another very warm and sunny day at the Wanborough show 2026, as well as the main marquee display we had a gazebo for a workshop which the visitors found interesting. Unfortunately a sudden gust of wind destroyed the gazebo but at least the trees survived. Sorry that my photography couldn’t cope with the very strong sun in the marquee as it was behind the trees, but it gives an idea of the tree display. A huge thanks to all who made this a great day enjoyed by a large amount of visitors.
