Shohin UK II exhibition March 2015

Last weekend saw the 2nd Shohin UK exhibition at Failand in Bristol, organised by Mark and Ritta Cooper ably assisted by their band of helpers.
The standard of the trees and displays was excellent and there were a number of traders at the show selling all things shohin related.
There were quite a few Bespoke Bonsai Stands in use at the show, here are some pictures of those stands.
