Over the next few weeks I have a few dates in the diary. We'd love to see you there and I am always happy to bring orders with me and save you the delivery cost. Just let us know what you need in good time. Tuesday 21 June Middlesex Bonsai Society - Demonstration and...

New Video
Following on from my demo' last weekend one of the club members there (Ian) has posted a video. I had nothing to do with it and it's a bit long winded......or is that me who is a bit long winded? Certainly not our usual stripped down production but for those of you...
Demo’ Result & A Dumb-ass Deal
Last Sunday I rolled out of my sack at four thirty in the morning, glugged a cold cup of coffee and hit the road. I picked up a couple of compadres and we settled in for the long run south to a little place called Herstmonceux, your guess is as good as mine regarding...
Demo’ This Week

Bonsai Tree Avalanche

If you had the misfortune to get my attention over the last couple of weeks, which hasn't been easy seeing as we largely stopped answering the telephone, you will know I have been a bit grumpy. However if you had the extreme misfortune to bump into me over that same...
Bonsai Dates for April
It's been a crazy year here so far. I have never worked so hard, we're on our knees, my last day off in January seems a very long time ago now. Sitting here in a waist high pile of parcels and a hundred still to do it seems unlikely we will be getting caught up any...
New Bonsai Workshop Dates 2016
Just put up new dates for our bonsai group workshops for 2016. Places go fast so don't hang around! Here's a recent juniper I did with a friend of ours.... G.
