With over 20 different traders at the Bonsai World event this weekend it was hard to know what to look at first or buy and it was an excellent opportunity to pick up a bargain as well as buy some high quality bonsai trees and supplies.
During a club Saturday workshop Reg helped us to make some small pots mainly for accents. We all then returned a few weeks later to glaze them,

The accents at Bonsai World 2015 were great, here is a selection of some of them that formed part of individual and club displays. A good range of ferns, hosta’s, grasses and many more species and presented in some colourful and very artistic pots.
What a range of bonsai trees on display at the Bonsai World 2015 show this year at the K2 Centre, from all species, to all shapes and sizes and presented in so many different ways with some very inspiring designs of trees, pots and stands. It was hard to spend the time viewing individually all the trees on display, but I tried to get to see most of them and some really stood out and were bonsai trees I admired greatly.
Sussex Bonsai Group put on another fabulous 2 day show this year at the wonderful K2 Centre at Crawley in West Sussex this weekend. It was a very well attended event with a good programme of events. The bonsai displays were excellent with a huge collection of bonsai trees on display including a good diversity of traders so you could buy all your bonsai needs at one event.
