The individual bonsai trees on display at Bonsai with Love were beautifully presented and created some stunning visual displays. Well done to everyone who put trees on display for everyone to enjoy and admire, it was a great event and raised a good level of funding for M.E Research UK.

There was a stunning display of accents at Bonsai with Love, and some very interesting styles, designs and species of plants used as accents too. The pots were also amazing, so many brightly coloured and wonderful designs it was hard to choose a favourite. Check out some of the accents from the show below. For anyone who missed the show, it was in aid of charity with the aim of being a fund-raising event sponsored by Dan and Cecilia Barton to raise funds for the Charity: M.E. RESEARCH UK. There was a huge set of Tombola prizes at the show, which followed on from an auction of some lovely bonsai trees. It was a great event and a chance also to catch up with many bonsai friends.
It was a very successful Charity bonsai event in aid of M.E Research and a big thank you to everyone who attended to support the day and also all those who helped with the organisation, sponsorship, funding and donations. If you wanted to buy bonsai then this was the place to be, a great range of trees, bonsai tools, stands, pots and other items were available for sale from traders and bonsai clubs and it was a great opportunity to pick up few items at good prices.
Congratulations to everyone who was involved in the Bonsai with Love show 2016 at Failand village Hall near Bristol this weekend, it was a fabulous day with many bargains to be had and all in the aid of charity. Thank you to Dan Barton, John Trott and all who made the day a great success and to all those who donated trees for the auction, prizes for the tom bola and for those who bought raffle tickets or bid and bought trees.

Today, Sat 4th June 2016 we had an all day workshop with John Armitage. I managed to take a few photographs before getting back to work on the trees. Thanks to all those who brought biscuits and cake to keep us going we needed plenty of brain food.
BIG thanks goes to John for another enjoyable day
Congratulations to everyone who was involved in the Federation of British Bonsai display at Chelsea Flower Show, it was another great success. Here are a few images of the individual trees that made up the whole display.
This year was another excellent year not just for bonsai but for all the gardens, floral displays and plants. It was great fun to explore the grounds and find such colourful and beautiful designs all around. Here are a few things that caught my eye.
Congratulations also go to John Trott of Mendip Bonsai Studio who also got a Gold medal at Chelsea Flower Show this year. Below are a few pictures of the bonsai trees on his stand.
