Bodnant Garden Centre Event

Over the week end of August 21st/22nd the society are putting on an event at Bodnant Garden Centre in the Conway Valley. We shall be displaying a selection of trees, providing opportunity for the public to seek advice and guidance along with a chance to win a significant Bonsai in the raffle. Mark this event in your diary as one not to be missed.

We have moved our meeting date to the second Sunday of each month, to avoid most Bank holidays etc. We have also moved our meetings to Green Dragon Bonsai in Trelawnyd.

Collecting trips are organised each Autumn and Spring to a variety of locations. Once permissions are obtained, the newer members are carefully guided by the experienced to suitable species and specimens. Conservation of natural resources is part of our educational policy. The majority of the collectable trees being damaged forestry road edge material or chain-sawed stumps etc. We have assisted in the maintenance of rare highland wetland areas by removing unwanted specimens from flooded peat bogs. Collecting from regenerating growth in quarries and clear felled areas is sometimes permitted by the license we purchase.
