Bonsai Site of the Month - October


Stuck for a pot?


Don't know where to get that elusive size or shape?


Well check out the site of Tokoname, the well known Japanese pot supplying region that collectively have been producing ceramic ware for 900 years!!

It's great for pots of different shapes, size and colour -you can even order them over t'internet . Even if you don't buy them I find the pictures are good enough to 'acquire' and be used in virtual's.

Membership

New members are always welcome, just come along to one of our monthly meetings at the RAFA club. You can even 'try us out' for a few months before you decide on joining as an official member. The meetings are informal (there's a bar!) and the club members are (mostly) friendly, approachable and happy to pass on guidance and information to anybody interested in bonsai- whatever your level of experience.
