It may be unseasonably cold outside but there is no letup in the life of a nurseryman. Over the last few days we have received our first shipments of new bonsai for 2013. Over 600 trees have arrived and are being prepared for sale. We have also dealt with a thousand new starter trees and re-potted close to 400 bonsai so far this year. There will be a lot more to come in the next few months but I thought you might like a whistle stop tour of our creaking benches.
Keep an eye on the web site as new trees, and some exceptional bargains, will be uploaded very soon.
Enjoy the pic’s and let me know if there is anything that catches your eye.
If you would like to visit and pick up a bargain either give us a call or drop us an email.

Winters in the U.K have a reputation. In our part of the country it’s not particularly cold, or wet or anything else, just long and dull. HOWEVER spring is just around the corner and we are beginning to see a few warm days. What I love about this time of year are the deciduous trees, just showing signs of life but still displaying their spectacular structure.

New workshop dates for 2013 are now listed on our Bonsai Workshops Page.
We offer a range of workshops suited to every individual circumstance. Most popular being our regular group workshops. Limited to four persons you are ensured plenty of personal attention throughout the day. Also Rammon is often in attendance to offer help and assistance with wiring etc’. Running from 9.30am until everyone is finished simply bring along as many trees as you can fit in the car and Graham will take it from there. These small groups are immensely friendly and well suited to absolute beginners as well as more advanced hobbyists. A group is a great place to learn bonsai as the shared experience gives a wide insight into the intricacies of bonsai technique. Group participation costs just £50 for the full day including refreshments. Bring lunch, trees, tools and whatever materials you feel you may need. Alternatively call Graham to discuss your day. BOOK EARLY – places on these days are very popular so book well in advance!
Graham is also happy to attend workshops at a place of your choosing. Ideal for bonsai clubs and groups of friends working together. Please contact us for details.

Overwintering bonsai trees has become of great concern to many folk, particularly here in the U.K. As the weather becomes increasingly more turbulent and unpredictable we have all suffered increasing numbers of tree losses.
After more than 20 years of keeping bonsai I thought it would be of benefit to put my experiences together for those wishing to know more.
We have recently posted a new article on overwintering bonsai onto our Bonsai Care Information page
