Historic Carmarthenshire garden to get taste of Japan with Bonsai Tree Show

The organisers, Dragon Bonsai Club, say they hope those with an interest in Bonsai trees, as well as those looking to have a Bonsai tree, will attend the free event on Saturday and Sunday, 11 and 12 March 2023

There will be a Bonsai Tree Show and Bonsai trees for sale, as well as Bonsai tools and wire etc. One of Dragon Bonsai club members is a very talented ceramic artist and he will be selling some of his beautiful handmade Bonsai Pots at the event.

An open clinic will be available for anyone that has a tree and needs advice. Visitors can bring their own Bonsai trees and members of the Dragon Bonsai club will be happy to provide advice on care and offer ideas on styling. There will also be opportunities for anyone to have a go at styling a Bonsai tree.

Jim Stribling, Aberglasney’s Director of Operations, said, “We are pleased to host the Dragon Bonsai Club meetings each Sunday at Aberglasney and look forward to the Spring Show being held in the mansion next month. We hope visitors to the Gardens will enjoy this unique Bonsai experience.”

Simon Evans, Chairman of the Dragon Bonsai Club said, “We are looking forward to holding our Spring Show at Aberglasney. It is the perfect backdrop for our event. We hope that all those who enjoy the beauty of Bonsai trees will come along and visit us and possibly consider joining our club which meets weekly at Aberglasney.”

Entrance to the Dragon Bonsai Spring Show is free of charge, however, normal admission fees to Aberglasney Gardens will apply. The Show will be open from 10am until 5pm on Saturday and 10am until 4pm on the Sunday.
