Stewart Beresford at our show
Stewart this year presented a very neat shohin display made up of four fantastic trees and a tiny fern accent.

Andy Hardman at our show
Andy’s shohin display was a three-tree display with two accompanying accents.

Andy Jordan at our show
Andy displayed a stunning collection of six shohin trees, five within a shohin display stand and a Juniper set off to the left with an accent. All the trees in the display were excellent quality and the range of species provided a good level of interest and diversity. A well deserved award for Best Shohin display Andy.
