Don't forget the Bonsai Society of Qld is holding their annual exhibition at the Toowong Botanical Gardens auditorium, Saturday 23rd and Sunday 24th. 9am til 4pm both days.

Bonsai and suiseki will be featured. $5 entry at the door.

There will be an extensive sales area for plants, pots and other useful items, plus two demonstrations each day, 11am and 2pm.

No doubt there'll be some stuff left, but that's a shame you'll miss the bun fight. :) I've heard there is going to be quite a lot of stock!

Although I'm working on Saturday morning I'm going to try & get there straight after work.

"Apparently there'll be a huge sales area"

I might have to hire a trailer. :lol: :lol:
If you're there on Saturday afternoon I hope I can meet you, Mel. Will you be there to help with the show, or selling?

Hi Frank

I'll probably just be walking around making sure no one touches the trees, or watching the demonstrations. I haven't got much worth selling this year.

Just look for the old grey haired woman! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Look forward to meeting you!

I am just starting out in bonsai ( a few cuttings no real trees yet ) do you think there will be much cheaper beginner stock or more established trees?
