John working on his little tree at last years show

For a number of years, John has kindly conducted a workshop and demonstration of his trees, at the Swindon ‘Winter Image’ show.

At the next show on Sunday, the 19th Feb 2012, he is also doing a tree clinic for anyone who wants to discuss their trees or any problems they are having. He will also be working on some of his little trees.

John has been interested in bonsai since a young age and in 2007 he trained in Japan.   He has collected many awards for his trees and is well known for his lovely shohin.

 

More is explained on his blog at http://johnarmitagebonsai.wordpress.com/ 

 

He plays a big part in the British Shohin Association [http://www.shohin.org.uk/] and he holds workshops and talks throughout the UK.
