So this year greenwood bonsai nursery in Nottingham. uk.
Has been celebrating its 40th anniversary and this weekend to help celebrate they invited William N. Valavanis over to spend all weekend running workshops and performing demos and basically spreading his incredible knowledge.
If you dont know the nursery it was started and run by Harry tomlinson and now run by his son corrin Tomlinson and brother paul.
So i was lucky enough to go along on sunday for the juniper day and Bill gave a demo on some brilliant imported Japanese material it was a large shimpaku.20180527_121316.jpg20180527_115326.jpg

After this demo came a private workshop of which i booked myself into where about 10 of us got given a small itiogawa juniper that was selected at the draw of a hat then we got to work and style them with Bill i learned so much from him in the 3 hour workshop.
Here is a before and after of the tree20180527_140518.jpg

It still needs some work some more detail wiring and finish the deadwood off
And shari plus there is an ugly root that has been chopped so that it can safely be removed next year.

Also i was talking to him about a tree i was going to purchase that day from the nursery to fit into an Erin pot i had.
So he very kindly went out of his way to put some wire on the tree to improve its image massively.
He even repotted it into the Erin pot and mossed it for me.
The tree is a Shishigashira Japanese Maple thanks very much @William N. Valavanis 20180527_172133.jpg20180527_172144.jpg20180529_205535.jpg20180529_205449.jpg20180529_205457.jpg
