Proficient in all Bonsai styles and techniques but regards himself as a Bonsai Artist rather than a Horticulturalist.
John Marsh has very generously stepped up to be September’s demonstrator. Expert in all styles of bonsai and its presentation, John will walk us through preparing our trees for show. Timely, given we have just over 4 weeks until our show.
