International Bonsai Academy in Croatia 2011 - #39

This was some weekend! I really enjoy to work with such an enthusiastic group and with seemingly endless top-quality material. Here some glimpses int o a part of Marija's and Andrija's garden. Not a single tree there is for sale. Don't bother to ask. Well, a couple of olives and phyllirea are actually for sale as well as some pistacias. The trees that we worked on this weekend constitute much less than 50 % of the collection.
I wish all classes of the International Bonsai Academy come to a point where they realize that only with top-quality material one can create bonsai that will impress in the future. My classes are aimed to teach how to SEE such material and what to do with it.
