Sir Theo and Shibui combined forces today to put on a display at this year's Wodonga Ag show to promote bonsai in general and our club locally.
Here's what we managed:
The first tables overflowed
but we managed to scrounge up another trestle table
We managed a mix of established trees and younger trees
Some shohin
as well as larger trees with a few natives thrown in
We were pleased with the public response. It seems that most people now understand bonsai better than 10 years ago.

Re: Wodonga Show Display
Good display and a good promotion for bonsai not only in your area, but bonsai in general. These things are worth the effort.

Re: Wodonga Show Display
Hi guys , congrats and well done on the effort and display at another venue . I'm working in the background promoting Bonsai and Alpineart , along with family commitments they are running me on empty .
Not planning on retiring , life just gets in the way sometimes . Hope those forecasted rains up there descend on my place , the hired help for watering is still in training {crash course apprenticeship}
Cheers alpine
