Bonsai in Bunratty

Workshop 06/02/2016

Last weekend we had our first workshop this year. Thanks Ian and Phil both from Northern Ireland Bonsai Society . It was wonderful and very productive weekend , with lots of new thinks. We could learn/refresh re-potting and main styling technique, we could meet some higher level technique too (grafting itoigawa juniper to heavy trunk  juniper ).

Here we have some pictures.
