Another date for the bonsai diary for 2022.

A date for the diary, at a new venue and a bonsai show not to be missed for an opportunity to see a huge variety of bonsai trees from the visiting 36 bonsai clubs as well as bonsai traders. For more information visit the Heathrow Bonsai Website or the UKBA Website.

The next show date has been booked Sunday the 19th Feb 2023. Clubs/Traders & exhibitors will be by invite only.
