What an excellent show today which was hosted by Wessex Bonsai Society, and featured an Open Competition in addition to their Annual Bonsai Exhibition.
Corin Tomlinson of Greenwood Bonsai Studio performed two demonstrations throughout the day and the first was around Beech tree pruning and the second on Juniper styling and both of which were very informative.
Corin also judged the open competition, which was tough as there were over 100 bonsai trees in this competition and of a good standard too and more details on the individual entries in later posts.
