Wirral Display – Part 1

BONSAI WALES

As I published earlier I’d taken the opportunity to take my family to the Wirral Bonsai Show At Gordale’s garden centre.
Once again the club had put on another spectacular display. Lots of new trees to cast an eye over and bask in the atmosphere.20130921-190456.jpgSteve Tolley Making his judgement on best in show.
Some of the display trees:

Japan Society of Northern Ireland

I was asked to put on a small display of trees at a meeting of the Japan Society of Northern Ireland on Saturday and do a short talk.

Myself and Stephen went along on the day, getting there early to set up we were able to have a wonder around the Japanese Garden at the venue.

We then set up a few small displays at the entrance and what could pass as a tokonoma in the living area. The extra trees were placed outside in the garden for viewing during the afternoon.

This chap was keeping an eye on us…

After my talk we got stuck into some fabulous food and it was obvious just what a social occasion this meeting was. Great to see the kids enjoying themselves, and so well behaved too.
