8&9Jun19 Mid-Herts Bonsai Club Show.
On the 8th & 9th June 2019 Mid-Herts Bonsai Club held its annual show at the Kingsbury Barn, St.Albans, Herts. This was a great success with well over 200 people attending. Most of the trees on display had not been exhibited before which gave the restored 14th century manorial barn a new perspective. With extra lighting and a tokenoma displaying the winner of this year's RHS Banksian Medal the trees looked stunning.
Visitors took a great deal of interest in the air-layering demonstration which was sited next to the refreshments. (So was it the demonstration or Jimmy's rum cake?) Other demonstrations included;
refinement pruning, the rewiring and bending of a large scots pine, and a 'practical advice' workshop for visitor's trees.
All-in-all a very successful weekend.
