Sutton Bonsai Show
Sutton Bonsai Society held their show today at the prestigious RHS Wisley Gardens, Surrey. There was a good amount of admiring public as the show was included within the entrance fee at Wisley’s gate. An on-site RHS conifer specialist took the time in the morning to walk and talk us from the show, out to the Pinetum and back through the walled gardens. We enjoyed a very friendly atmosphere and the chance to catch up with friends about the progression of spring here in the UK. Splendid displays, friendly club, great time of year, the cafe round the corner was tasty, superb grounds – this show had a lot going for it.
Sho Ryu Kai Show Shohin & Mame
This show was great. If you like shohin and smaller, you would have loved this show. Sho Ryu Kai is a well established, talented group – as part of Lodder’s open weekend they put on a display and demonstrated just how good the Netherlands bonsai scene is.
RHS Wisley revisited
Always nice to see trees develop and through different seasons. We revisited the collection donated by Herons Bonsai held at RHS Wisley, Surrey. The bonsai garden is simple yet elegantly laid out, with lots Japanese touches thrown in. Next time you are passing, why not drop in and have a look for yourself.
