John Hanby 2nd Bonsai Demonstration

This was the 2nd demonstration day that John had run at the Newstead Bonsai nursery. Today's topic was driftwood and lava. He used an old hardwood from a Canadian lake as the driftwood, and planted a juniper forest on top. Very effective.

The lava valley scene use an Indonesian lava sourced from Amsterdam with White Birch from Japan and a raft Juniper. Small plants were a Cotoneaster congesta and others. It looked congested during the construction, but the finished result was amazing. 

The final picture is of a yew they did on the 1st demonstration day.  Well worth going.
