Bonsai Display
By Keith Tarpey & Roy Hirst
Daisy Nook Garden Centre,
Stannybrook  Road,  Daisy Nook,
Failsworth, Manchester. M35 9WJ.
 
We generally always associate promotional bonsai displays as being organised by local clubs, promoting the hobby and trying to attract new members and entice the public into the hobby, but this is not the case in hand. Keith Tarpey who has had along history of belonging to clubs in the past now does his own thing in recent years, coupled with his friend Roy Hirst of some lesser years in bonsai, the two of them put together a collection of nearly twenty trees for a display at Daisy Nook Garden Centre. This three day display over the bank holiday weekend was accompanied with an open invite to the public to bring along their trees for a critique and advise on how to  advance their trees. Keith says this is the first time they have tried such a display, but after such a successful weekend will perhaps try more in the future. This is truly an exceptional act, promoting the art of bonsai with no ulterior  motives  other than spreading the word and hobby, more strength to their elbows.
