Just acquired this Berberis Clump. Ben collected this beauty from a garden and a little deal was struck. I’m really looking forward to playing with this one next year. Bigger than you think, check out the coke tin. Some great bark and trunk movement.

I always try to make an effort to get to my local wood at this time of year to see the bluebells at their peak. This was it on Sunday, accompanied by my brother Philip and Stephen. Worth hobbling around … Continue reading
After our visit to Timpany Ben invited us down to his home for a look around his trees. I hope he was ok with the fact that Stephen and I spent more time looking at his garden that at the bonsai! Nothing wrong with his fast growing collection of bonsai, it’s just that I had seen most of them before, but this was a first time in his garden. And what a garden it is. He has only been in the house for 5 years and has created this from scratch (With a lot of help from Emily 😉 ) I think you can tell that he’s a Gardener by trade, obviously a good one! The Alpine rock garden was fantastic, especially with the water feature. Some amazing plants in his beds, oh, and a few nice bonsai too 🙂

I have 3 Alliums small enough for accents. I’ve been trying to get them named as the original owner didn’t keep the label.

I see lots of people posting images online of their Hawthorn in flower. I haven’t long to wait either 🙂
A few that have sort of looked after themselves mostly with native grasses, ferns etc. I love the wild unkempt look.
I got this little Rose in a swap last Autumn with Jose over at Centro Bonsai Tenerife. I have been waiting with anticipation to see the first flower and it looks like it’s going to be tiny 🙂
