National Botanic Gardens - Australian Natives as Bonsai Show
Saturday / Sunday 22/23 November
Canberra
Enthusiasts from NSW and the ACT put trees in this annual show and it is well attended. Do allow time to walk through the botanic gardens as well. It is a lovely stop on a day in Canberra.

Sorry I won't be able to make this show in short notice. I hope someone can post pictures here after the event.
As most Clubs seem to run their shows at the same time each year, perhaps we should create a sticky Calendar with all of the dates so that people can perhaps plan a trip around an event. And while we are at it a list of all of the Bonsai clubs and their meeting times and contact details might be a great help to budding enthusiests.
Yours in Bonsai

Gday Mela!
I flew up to Canberra last year for the show and spent an entire day either ogling some great trees, attending demos or just wandering around the Gardens. It was a great day. Sadly, I won't be able to attend this year.
Thanks.

Ditto Jon. I'm still eagerly waiting for the official photos from last year's exhibit to be posted online. [EDIT] Oops - looks like they've been posted since I last visited the site. I recall being particulary fond of Grant Bowie's She Oak, and Peter H's E.nicholli is always an inspiration. [/EDIT]Jon Chown wrote:I hope someone can post pictures here after the event.

Gday KC!
Click the 'ANPB Galleries' link in my signature. For some reason, the photos don't appear to be enlargeable for the 2007 gallery. Hmmm...
Good luck.
