Which is better, beer or bonsai? I decided to do my own take on The Good Pub Guide with Bonsai.
This is a list of Bonsai Nurseries which can be visited, please bear in mind a lot of the Nursery owners operate an appointment system or have limited opening hours so extend some courtesy and contact the supplier before visiting. Have I missed you? Get in touch…
I am not sure at this point if this is more of an observation that a tip.
Organised by Mark & Ritta Cooper, the show was held at Failand Hall, Bristol. The exhibition concentrated on smaller Chuhin, Shohin and Mame trees.
The green lidded one for confers, the white deciduous…apparently
A NEW look to a bonsai forum, so that it looks better, works faster and is more informative to all who take part. The European Bonsai Forum has a wonderful new look for all to enjoy.
The European Bonsai Forum was set up to discuss and promote discussion about the Native and Naturalized European trees and shrubs. The main instigator of this was Will Baddeley, who is well known for his lovely collection of trees, which have been displayed at most of the main events throughout Europe. He was one of the main Award winners at last years ‘Winter Image’ show and runs his own blog at http://wildwoodbonsai.blogspot.co.uk/. Come and try out this friendly forum that is available throughout Europe, it’s easy to register and you soon find your way around the site:-

What a collection of awe inspiring bonsai trees, it was the most incredible sample of 150 bonsai trees out of around 400 all owned and developed by one individual, that of Manuel Gonzales who sadly past away last year.

As the sun was shinning today, here is a continuation of the bright things to come with a selection of flowering bonsai trees that have featured on our website over the past 2 years…and you may see examples of flowering Cherries as well as a few other species at our forth coming Winter Image Bonsai Show in Swindon on the 24th February.
John Trott at Mendip Bonsai Studio will have samples of the NEW bronze figures at the Swindon ‘Winter Image’ show on the 24th Feb 2013. He will be taking orders for delivery in early March or collection from him. He already has a large collection of bronzes which can be seen on his web site…http://www.mendipbonsai.co.uk/Gallery%20Bronzes.htm There are leaf-cutter ants, crabs, tree frogs and mushrooms. Mushrooms are designed to be inserted into a piece of log
