Back on a warm June day we had a workshop with David from Walsall Ceramics where some lovely bonsai pots were made. to see original post….. https://swindon-bonsai.co.uk/2018/06/23/2018-pottery-workshop-with-david-jones-from-walsall-studio-ceramics/
This is a National Bonsai Event for bonsai trees that have been created strictly from British material trees — nothing from overseas will be exhibited. Anyone is eligible to submit trees for selection for exhibition at the event. Vendors can trade for free on the lawn adjoining the north side of the hall but must first apply to do so.
NOTE…………………. Now FREE entry, see poster below
Yet again a good day at the Wanborough show, blessed with a mainly dry day. It’s always good to pack things away ‘DRY’.
Reg Bolton and his brother Jeff are holding an Open Gardens afternoon, as per the poster above. Both are RHS judges, Jeff specialises in fruit and vegetables, while Reg is of course bonsai.
What a huge difference a year makes to the weather at the Stratton Festival, Grange Drive, Swindon the same Leisure centre that we use for our ‘Winter Image’ show every February.
Salisbury Bonsai Club have invited Swindon together with other clubs/societies to attend their 30th Anniversary Show which will be opened by Chris Thomas and Judged by Peter Chan.
Yet another lovely show with quality displays, trees and accents, if you missed it you missed a good one.
Again we were joined by David Jones and his helper for the day, Charlotte Walby for an all day pottery workshop.
John Trott, [https://www.mendipbonsai.co.uk/] Mendip Bonsai Studio followed on from a very busy time of year, a ‘Gold’ Medal at the “Chelsea Flower Show” and then the Bath and West Show and the Cornwall Show. John attended the NEC Birmingham for the Gardeners World Live show 2018 with a lovely display of all Azalea’s except the accent plants. He was voted as the………… Geoff Hamilton Award – Best in Show.
Not long until the Rowdeford Garden Fair, just to the north west of Devizes.
