Case History - Part Two
February 3rd, 2010
This is a new series of image articles showing past and ongoing projects at the Newstead Bonsai Centre. All the work illustrated has been carried out by John personally, or by students/helpers acting under John’s supervision. For as long as the tree remains unsold on the nursery updates will be presented from time to time as each tree develops further.
I hope some of the images will provide a source of inspiration. Visitors to the nursery should have a greater appreciation of some of the trees on show when they can trace its origin and development.
