Massive thank you to David Cheshire for visiting our December meeting. Not only did David provide retail therapy to club members; he also provided a short discussion on his bonsai philosophy and some of the techniques he has been developing inline with his approach for a more natural bonsai aesthetic. Our members got a great deal from his thoughts and observations.

The bonsai club’s April meeting drew an excellent turnout, with members enjoying an engaging evening of discussion, and seasonal tree care advice. Attendees shared progress on their own trees, exchanged tips on pruning and repotting, and admired a varied display of bonsai brought along for discussion. The friendly atmosphere and strong attendance reflected the growing enthusiasm within the club, making it one of the most successful enjoyable evening for everyone.

This evening Andy brought the Japanese black pines he has been growing with and for club members to show and discuss progress and possible future techniques. Club members were invited to have a go at working on them with pruning and wiring.

The pine trees have been kept in aquatic baskets, which means the pines cannot be over watered and are showing strong signs of growth and development year on year.

Club members were also asked to bring in accent plants and to display the combinations created at our recent shitakusa & kusamono workshop with Ritta Copper.
