Bonsai Eejit is 4!
Today marks four years of blogging as Bonsai eejit. Hard to believe to be honest.
That’s 2327 posts and over 1,320,000 visits. I’ve been a bit quiet lately, mostly due to real work getting in the way, but as the season warms up I’ll have more to post.
Thanks to everyone for showing an interest in what I share here. Looking forward to meeting more bonsai friends before the 5th Anniversary.
New Bonsai eejit Logo
If you remember a few months back I asked if anyone was up to the task of helping me revamp my logo. To my rescue came Jurgen Robyns from Makisada Ceramics.
I asked that the logo be pretty much the same idea as the current one but with more detail and and few extras like a better tree and a pair of scissors in hand. Jurgen was a star and came up with the image below. He even took a few progression shots for me.
What is it about these talents artists, is one discipline not enough, not only can he draw but he makes stunning pots as well! More about them later as he’s a few special ones in progress at the moment that I want to share with you when they are completed.
For now, you’ll have to make do with my logo. It’ll take a while for me to get rid of the old one from everywhere I use it!!

Ulster – Munster – Leinster
Not a pretty sight but here’s myself, Piotr and Owen, the three chairmen of the three clubs together at the NI Bonsai Society School over the weekend. Maybe early days to call Owen a Chairman to be honest but he’s the one who took the plunge and has the first meeting set up for 27th June in Balbriggan.
We had three with us from the new Leinster Bonsai Club, Owen, Elisabeth and John. They got a little taste of the benefits of being a sister club to the NIBS.
I know I harp on about it at times but friendship is a big part of bonsai for me and it’s great to get this new club link rolling.

Ulster Vs Munster
What a Post Title, wish I’d thought of it but sadly Ray got there first. Here’s a link to his blog post about his experience at the recent workshop in Cork. Thankfully no one was throwing balls about the room 🙂
ULSTER VS MUNSTER Both Winners…
Bonsai Podcasts…….
…. and a great article series.
I just wanted to direct everyone to this site, the only one that I’m aware of that offers bonsai podcasts in English. I know that Gary is keen to attract other guests to speak on the podcast. Owen Reich, Adam Lavigne and Jack Douthitt are the first to give it a go. If you are interested, why not give Gary a shout.
Also on the site is a great series of beginner articles written by Eugene Howell who has 40 years experience in bonsai and is active in the bonsai community in Florida.
