Elephant Man Does Bonsai
Who knew the elephant man did bonsai! No I wasn't in an actual fight. Riding a motorcycle at the weekend a bee hit me in the face. I still had to go to the Heathrow Bonsai Show and knock out this cool privet though. More details soon. G.
15 Minute Bonsai Fix
One of the things that has always motivated me in bonsai is making something out of not a lot. Being a Brit' I am genetically a sucker for a lost cause. When I buy trees I never go out of my way to get the best stuff, that costs a lot. I like to buy the oddball stuff...
A Grand Day Out – Bonsai Inspiration
I live on the edge of the Norfolk Broads National Park. Nice if you like boats, fishing and GREAT if you are a twitcher. Not so cool if, like me, you love mountains. Our flat landscape certainly produces some amazing and inspirational spectacles including some of the...

Enfield Bonsai Group Autumn Show

New Bonsai Tree Stock
This week I have been away on a buying trip. By the end of next week we will have a large delivery of some really nice yamadori trees including junipers, scots pine, oaks, olive and even some vines. Obviously more information and pictures will be available once...
Losing my Religion
I have been at some form of business since I figured out how to get my gran' to give me sweets. I have been relentlessly beavering away ever since. These days our primary business is bonsai and everything that surrounds it. Keeping employees and a family afloat is no...
