I try to encourage audience participation to enhance the enjoyment of the talk. The talk is suitable for all ages and abilities and doesn't need any specialist equipment.

About Ray Couldwell

My name is Ray Couldwell, and I have been involved in Bonsai for the last 30 years in the east Lancashire area (Accrington). I have been chairman of the Accrington and District Bonsai Society for 12 years and chairman of the Fylde Bonsai Society for the last 3 years. I have been doing these talks for 20 years to W Is, Probus, U3As, gardening clubs, schools, OAP homes etc..

I will bring along a display of Bonsai and discuss the culture and horticulture of this fascinating hobby. The talk is very light hearted and I encourage audience participation.
