I had the pleasure of visiting Sharon’s garden on Monday. I was chatting to her at the club meeting on Friday night and said I’d be passing near her place and she offered a coffee. Never one to turn down the chance to look at bonsai and drink coffee, I called to see her collection. When I arrives she was happily working away on a tree in her greenhouse.  It was my first time at Sharon’s and although I’ve seen many of her trees before, I didn’t realise that she had so many! When I told her I counted over 50, she was surprised herself ❗

Her garden is small and she has made great use of the space and has to be commended for the quality of her collection. There was plenty there that I’d jump at the chance to have on my own benches. She even pointed out a few that she had bought from me years ago. Needless to say they are 100 times better now! Here are some photos but!!! here’s the problem, I forgot to take my camera, so what you’ll see were taken with my phone, so apologies for the quality of the photos.

Some glare but it actually looks nice
