Aka Matsu School Of Bonsai Annual Show
Azure Garden Centre, Station Road, Cramlington, Northumberland. NE23 8BJ.
We held our Annual Show at Azure Garden Centre, Cramlington on Sunday 16th July 2023 which was well supported by our members. After an early start setting up, we were ready to welcome visitors to the Garden Centre in time for opening.
We had several visitors specially travelling to the event from as far away as Sheffield and Leeds.
We encourage members of the public to vote for their favourite tree, this not only gets them to look at the trees, but we have some conversation with them, so promoting the hobby to a wider audience. We had 77 public votes cast during the day. Our members also vote for their favourite trees in the large category, and we introduced a small tree class this year (up to 350mm 14”) to encourage those who grow smaller trees to exhibit.
All the votes were counted with the following results.
Public vote for Favourite Tree – Ezo Spruce belonging to Kevin
Best Large Tree voted for by Members – Japanese White Pine belonging to Jim
Best Small Tree voted for by Members – Itoigawa Juniper belonging to Ryan
Once again we are indebted to the Staff at Azure Garden Centre for allowing us the use of the Centre
