January Weekend Workshop

The first Saturday Workshop for 2018 was very productive with much activity focussed on trimming, defoliating and revitalising developing and existing bonsai.  We also had two visitors from Europe who are spending time in Melbourne and took the opportunity to join us.  

It was great to hear about their experiences in the European climate and we are sure they learnt a lot about the Melbourne climate and the tree species that do well here.Photos of a  selection of trees and the results of some of the days activities are included below.
