Hello everyone and thanks for accepting me to the forum. My name is John and I am a real newbie to bonsai. I have never owned a bonsai, but that means I have never killed one either! On Saturday June 16th I went to Greenwood Bonsai for Corin Tomlinson's bonsai introductory course. I have to say that it was amazing. I learned such a lot as well as bringing two bonsai home with me. Prior to the course I had bought a Juniper Communis and a Cryptomeria Japonica from garden centres. Now, with the knowledge I gained, I have started to work on them to transform them into bonsai (hopefully). If any people out there are like me and are considering bonsai as a hobby, Corin's course is money very well spent and I would urge you to book a place before you try anything on your own. |

Good way to start John. Welcome to the friendliest forum. All too frequently, people come to us for help only when their first tree/s start to decline in health. |

Welcome. The bug has bitten hard with you. You will never look at a hedge in the same way again... |

Welcome John. I also took that course back in Oct 2015, and still have my two trees (alive!). Lucky for me Greenwood is only 20 minutes up the road, and so I can pop in quite often. I would definitely recommend going to one of the Bonsai Bashes... I've been to the last two and both were great. The next one is in mid-September... see the details here: https://www.bonsai.co.uk/ |
