Northern Ireland Bonsai Society

Some of the club members got together last night for a workshop and Craic. Here’s some of the trees brought along.

The NIBS will be taking part in Chinese New Year celebrations on Saturday 12th February at Carrickfergus Borough Council Civic Centre. 2pm – 5pm  display of bonsai for the public. 3pm  talk on the history of Bonsai. 4 pm Talk on how to create your own bonsai. A demo will be running continually during the display. Hope…

This weekend is the Noelander Trophy XII in Belgium. As I was unable to attend one of the top Bonsai Exhibitions in Europe, I always look out for the first photographs to appear on line. Here’s a link to a photo-gallery of the Exhibition. Just click on the photograph and enjoy.

Looks like we’ll be back at Dobbies Garden Centre in May for a two day Display and Demo. After the success of the Winter display, Dobbies have invited us back on the weekend  28th & 29th May. Fingers crossed, we hope to have plenty of flowering bonsai on display.

Ever wonder how it all started? :-)
