Art of Saikei with Craig Jurd and a Saikei Challenge

Craig is Australia’s foremost expert on Saikei and has been in bonsai for over 35 years

Saikei is not only a form of artistic expression but also a means of connecting with nature and appreciating the beauty of landscapes on a small scale. It encourages a deep understanding of horticulture and the principles of landscape design. Creating saikei compositions requires a blend of artistic vision, gardening skill and a keen eye for balance and detail

Our meeting on 8 October was about Bonsai Techniques.

Some of our experienced members demonstrated and explained how to do :

Approach Graft, Thread Graft, Air Layer, Propagate by Cuttings and Propagate by Seed
