BONSAI SCHOOL UPDATE

Excellent response to our new format and list of classes. Over 60 different students have already booked on classes during the first three months of 2012. All of March and the two pine classes in April are SOLD OUT but we will take extra numbers on the beginners course. Classes really are filling up fast this time around so book early to avoid disappointment.

ACADEMY LEVEL FIVE

The Academy Five class cancelled on the 5th February due to bad weather has been rescheduled for Sunday 18th March. Please contact us to reserve your place if you intend to come.

WEBSITE

Apologies for not being able to update our articles recently but the new nursery change and busy classes has taken up all our time. Once we have completed our switch to 100% bonsai the nursery, the school, the website and my own trees will all reap the benefits. Please keep in touch and hopefully you and your trees can benefit too.

This offer will definitely end on the 29th. It only applies to garden plants, bonsai, and raw material. Sale items must be paid for in full on the day and removed from the nursery as soon as possible to obtain the discount.

]]> http://www.johnhanbybonsai.co.uk/updates/?feed=rss2&p=4623 50% OFF ALL BONSAI TREES AND RAW MATERIAL http://www.johnhanbybonsai.co.uk/updates/?p=4617 http://www.johnhanbybonsai.co.uk/updates/?p=4617#comments Sun, 27 Nov 2011 18:31:47 +0000 admin http://www.johnhanbybonsai.co.uk/updates/?p=4617 Take advantage of an amazing offer. This year has been a tough one in many ways. My wife Jackie has had several health issues and would like to take a well-earned retirement. I would like to remove the distractions of running a large establishment like Newstead and be able to concentrate solely on my bonsai trees and students. To enable this to happen we are downsizing our operation and therefore need to reduce our current stock level. So instead of our usual annual one day sale, this time from the 1st to the 23rd December there will be 50% off all bonsai trees, raw material and garden plants purchased and paid for in full. Some of my own specimen bonsai will be included in this offer. Regular visitors to our nursery will be able to check the prices and confirm that this is a genuine offer and not some cheap sales gimmick. If there’s a tree you’ve admired for ages this is your once in a lifetime opportunity but don’t hang about because someone else might just be admiring it too!!!

Don’t worry……I will still be running one of the largest bonsai nurseries in the UK and continuing to organise more classes than any other bonsai school, but in a different format.
