Tree judged Best in show……………..
Sunday the 15th June 2025 saw the Bristol clubs 50th Anniversary show at Failands, blessed by lovely sunny weather it was enjoyed by all the visitors. As well as the main displays and traders in the hall there was a marquee display for all club members and of course a number of traders on the lawn.
Bonsai connoisseur, Amelia Williams, has been studying and working with trees of all sizes for more than 20 years, most recently as Director of UK tree consultancy firm – the Arb Company.
Tom and Amelia zoom in on the miniature world of tiny tree craft and discuss what bonsai can teach us about better looking after bigger trees, as well as ourselves.
