Warminster Bonsai Club

Busy meeting several members removing wire from trees now hopefully set for the future, I have a Larch that has required wiring three times now over the years as it resolutely refuses to stay in the style I want it now it’s a battle of wills.

Amelia was working on some amusing penjing and no I don’t think I resemble Yoda I shaved off my moustache several years ago.

Saturday 2nd September we set up our club display at the Corsley Fayre which is the second year we have attended after it was stopped due to covid.

Restarting this has meant it is smaller than pre covid but we have noticed it is gaining popularity and was well attended no doubt helped by the fine weather.

We were in the horticultural marquee sharing a side with Derek who had his stand for the Wiltshire section of the Cacti and Succulent Society which complements both displays unfortunately only have one picture of Derek’s stand.

Lots of interest shown many questions asked and a very enjoyable day as it is also our last display for this year.

Saturday 2nd September we will be putting on a club display at the Corsley Fayre in the horticulture marquee, we put on a display last year and found it to be a very friendly show with many local people attending.

The Wiltshire branch of the Cacti and Succulent Society will also have a display and sales table.

Take a look at their website to see what is happening on the day.
