Lets see ...
About 30 vitrified Bonsai containers or planted up display platforms ,the cheapest being £6 the most expensive £ 120 . I suspect the overall average price is £ 35 , so £ 1050 on pots & potted up specimens . Additional Tool kit ( birthday prezzie ) last year 2016 @ £ 215 containing six items of quality . Initial, medium price and quality starter kit crimbo prezzie 2015 including two highly recommended decent Bonsai books about £ 500. Three day club event with a group of five females £ 300 plus , A two day event with me & my daughter involving three nights in a hotel in Bournemouth £ 700 ish ) . A years club membership £ 40 ish ) plus quite a few consumables ...such as three different grades of wire @ Bonsai quality , specialist potting mixtures, fertilizers n& giving five plates of Sandwiches etc for two open day sessions .
I'd say roughly about 2900 on total for 18 months . Now add in the staging stuff for £1300 ..........
Ye gods& graces £4200 and that's not including the modifications for the staging .
would have been cheaper to send her to asia to look after a tree...lol
