Heathrow Bonsai Show – A GREAT day out!
Sunday 3 November found me stumbling around in the dark at 4am in my keks trying to get dressed without causing too much of a ruckus. The reason for being afoot at such an unearthly hour? I had agreed to attend the Heathrow Bonsai show and because I live in the nether...

Elephant Man Does Bonsai

Enfield Bonsai Group Autumn Show
4am Sunday morning we were on the road in the torrential rain heading for Enfield, north London. Not my preferred option for a Sunday morning, especially after a hectic week of travelling. A busy day in prospect we collected my friend (also Graham) and reluctantly...
New Bonsai Tree Listings Imminent
Over the last few weeks we have bought in several large private collections of bonsai trees. The thing I love about doing that is we always turn up some very unusual trees. When you buy a whole collection you also get some strange items like weird pots and a few...
