A CARMARTHENSHIRE landmark will be hosting a Bonsai show this weekend.

Aberglasney Gardens will host the Dragon Bonsai Autumn Show this coming weekend.

Anyone with an interest - whether a member of organisers Dragon Bonsai Club or not – in Bonsai is welcome to attend the free event.

There will be a Bonsai tree show, Bonsai trees for sale as well as tools and wire to keep Bonsai trees in pristine condition.

There will also be sessions on advice for caring for Bonsai trees and much more.

One of the Dragon Bonsai Club members is a ceramic artist and will be selling some of his handmade Bonsai pots over the weekend, with visitors able to get advice in the open clinic, bring along their own Bonsai trees and members of the club will help provide advice on care and ideas on styling. There will also be opportunities to style a Bonsai tree.

Jim Stribling, Aberglasney’s director of operations, said: “We are pleased to host the Dragon Bonsai Club meetings each Sunday at Aberglasney and look forward to the autumn show being held in the mansion next month. We hope visitors to the gardens will enjoy this unique Bonsai experience.”

Simon Evans, chairman of Dragon Bonsai Club, said: “Following on from our successful spring show back in March we are now looking forward to holding our autumn show at Aberglasney.

“It is the perfect backdrop for our event. We hope that all those who enjoy the beauty of Bonsai trees will come along and visit us and possibly consider joining our club which meets weekly at Aberglasney.”

The Dragon Bonsai Autumn Show will be held at Aberglasney Gardens on Saturday, October 7 and Sunday, October 8. Entry to the show is free of charge, however, normal admission to Aberglasney Gardens will apply. The show is open from 10am on both days.
