Congratulations to all those involved in hosting the 2nd International Magical Bonsai Accents Exhibition at Failand Village Hall, Bristol on Saturday 19th July as this was a great success and all who attended had a great day.
Swindon Bonsai Society had an enjoyable day at the Stratton Festival, Swindon today. Organised by
Surrey Heath Bonsai Society had a great range of tree species on their display at Roots Bonsai including a wide range of succulent accents. The Society meets every First Tuesday of the month at the Pirbright Village Hall (Pirbright Green), Dawney Hill Road (A324), Pirbright, Surrey. All meetings commence at 7.30 p.m. on the first Tuesday of every month and our programme includes expert speakers and practical workshops.
Here are a few images of the trees and accents on their display…
Solent Bonsai Society had a brilliant display once again at Roots with some excellent additions to the display to add interest and capture the imagination and also add a fun element to the display.
Warminster Bonsai Club meet at 7.30 in the evening, on the third Thursday of each month at Christ Church Hall Warminster BA12 9PJ. They put on a great display at Roots and the show manager is Clive Harber and he is supported by the club members who also provide their trees for the display.
Sussex Bonsai Group put on a three individual tokanoma tree displays as their display which were well balanced and beautifully presented at the Roots Bonsai Show this weekend. They meet on the fourth Wednesday of each month at Wivelsfield Green Village Hall in West Sussex at 8pm-10pm.
Our club display was a diverse range of species predominately broadleaved with one or two more unusual species including a Maidenhair tree and a Taiwanese Fig. One item that appeared to also draw attention
Reg & Jeff Bolton will again be opening up their gardens to the public. All proceeds will go to the Thamesdown Hydrotherapy Pool.
Reg as many of you will know has been growing Award winning bonsai for years.
Newbury and District Bonsai Society hosted another great bonsai event this year near Newbury at Roots Garden Centre. It was a well attended show with a good range of traders and attending clubs and societies who also got a chance to catch up and work on bonsai trees throughout the day. Thank you to Newbury Bonsai Society for inviting Swindon club to attend and also to Roots Garden centre for the hospitality and excellent venue.
This month Joanna joined us with a selection of plants from her nursery in Warnborough, Wiltshire. Club members were also invited to bring accent plantings they had created for viewing and discussion. It was great to dedicate an entire evening to smaller plantings and apt, taking into consideration the Magical Bonsai Accents show in Bristol next Saturday, the 19th June. Hope to see you there.
