Blogger Oscar Jonker of Holland came to my garden during the Artisans Cup and made this video interview. We walked around the yard and talked about a handful of the trees. He spent quite a bit of time with this, and I was delighted with the product. And, to many of my students who have chastised me for being invisible on the web, at least in video format, here’s a step in the direction of visibility… A big thank you Oscar and Bonsai Empire for creating this! Enjoy-
I was really impressed by the accents at Europa. It’s a hard time of year to keep them looking in show condition but all looked great, seasonal and mature.
These three balloons worked a treat in attracting attention to the venue as they could be seen across Bury.
I think I missed this one from the Conifer post earlier.
Some general shots although the highest rank present was Sgt Major ‘Ba doom tish!’
Some of the trade stands
Loved these guys, Sperling Keramik from Germany.
Iain Baillie’s amazing pots
This is Will Baddeley’s Stand, or is it, I’m confused.
The kids workshops were an amazing part of the weekend.

And now the wee trees.
And now for the Deciduous trees. If I have missed any out it’s due to poor photos not personal taste!
I’ll break up the exhibits by posting them in different groups, conifers, deciduous, Others, Shohin, Accents. My photos are just ok, I found it hard to get the right set up with the lighting but these should give you a good feel for the event. Here’s the first instalment.
