Wiring was the theme for this months workshop for our members. Some like it, some loath it. The process can be fiddly and time consuming but learning to do it well can help bring a better structure and a precisely defined look to your trees.
Thank you to Mark and Ming, great day and a very good selection of trees on show. Here are a few images from the day.
We decided to revisit the gardens at RHS Wisley today, the Glasshouse has an exceptional quantity and variety of plants. Also, we were surprised to see the Bonsai garden has been rebuilt, sponsored by Dawn and Peter Chan of Herons Bonsai. The layout is now much simpler, with paving stones, gravel and a few japanese garden accoutrements in the mix. You will have to excuse the poor quality of photography due to the overwhelming amount of precipitation we recieved.
We’re looking forward to Magical Bonsai Accents, 19th July 2014

The show was well attended and boasted a good variety of species in the club displays section. This is a great opportunity to pick up some sundries ready for the approaching repotting season.

Newbury & District Bonsai Society display
Newbury Bonsai Society exhibit annually at the Royal County of Berkshire Show and this years Bonsai display won a Gold medal so a good reward for all the work that goes into the trees and setting up the display and congratulations to all those involved.
As some Club members belong to a range of clubs, a few of Swindon Club Members who also belong to Newbury had some of their trees on the display.
