Burridge Bonsai Fuchsia Group

Solent Fuchsia Club has a Bonsai Workshop Group

Bonsai Magellanica Alba

The bonsai to the left is Magellanica Alba and was grown by Solent Fuchsia Club member, Peter Lewis.
It has won the bonsai class in each of these competitions and received the following accolades:

Solent Fuchsia Club Show 2006
BFS London Show 2006. The Blue Rosette (3rd Best in Show)

BFS Southern Show 2006 (Runner up Best in Show)

BFS London Show 2007


Unfortunately the Burridge Bonsai Group is unable to continue because Peter Lewis, the organiser of this particular activity is unavailable, which is due partly to health problems.

Whether the cancellation is only a temporary situation, only time will tell.

We wish to thank Peter for his unstinting dedication to promoting the cultivation of Fuchsia Bonsai, a speciality in which he excelled, as his personal and successful results on the Bonsai page of the S.F.C. website indicate.

There should be the result of Peter’s (and his wife’s) lectures for all to see at the 2010 Solent Fuchsia Club Annual Show, to be held at the Titchfield Community Centre on Saturday 31st July, (between 10am and 6pm) when it is envisaged that several members will be exhibiting their version of Fuchsia Bonsai.
