Challenger TAFE Adult Education Bonsai Workshop #8 - 2004
 
The Venue

Conducted by Challenger TAFE Centre for Adult Education, our eighth workshop in the series entitled "Basics of Bonsai" began on the warm, late spring day of Saturday 27th of November 2004 with the unpacking of the usual myriad of items at the Heathcote Artist's Precinct venue. 

The Picture Shoot

Setting UpTAFE staff member Clarice joined our group for the day and contributed her assistance in many ways - thanks Clarice!

 

The LargeThe Small
Our workshop display comprised of large, exposed root Fig Bonsai to the smallest of baby Figs...!
Potting Mix
There was no time wasted and we were immediately into the basics - preparing the correct potting mix for our Bonsai.

Shaping
Participants chose a tree from the large variety of species available including English Box, Cypress, Camellia and Port Jackson Figs. Thought and planning was put into the achievement of the desired result.

Smiles
Everyone had the opportunity to take away extra soils, gravels and plant cuttings.

Happy Ending
Thanks to Gay, our assistant for these photographs.  In a Basics of Bonsai workshop we transform ordinary garden stock into beautiful healthy Bonsai.  With ongoing care, these specimens will continue to thrive and improve in their individual forms.

Congratulations to all of our participants and thank you for joining us in another happy Challenger TAFE Centre for Community Education workshop...!
