BSQ Inc Annual Show

Post by Tony Bebb »

Hi All

For any locals and those who might be in town next weekend, the Bonsai Society of Qld Inc will be holding our Annual Show on Saturday 3rd and Sunday 4th September in the Auditorium at the Mt. Coot-tha Botanical Gardens. It will be open from 9am - 4pm both days with Bonsai Demonstrations at 11am and 2pm daily.

Admission is $5 and there will be Bonsai and stock for sale as well as pots, tools and accessories. Come and see around 90 Bonsai on display across all skill levels and a wide variety of species.

Hope to see you there

Thought I would show off a few pics from our show this weekend. I will apologise for some of the photos up front as they did not come out as good as I hoped. Gotta go see an optometrist, I thought they looked alright on the camera :lost:

WOW! those trees are amazing!

i just got back from the royal adelaide show, and the trees left a bit to be desired, no offense to the participants. There were a couple of good trees, but with only a hand full on display i felt sourly dissapointed.
Ur trees are a league above those at the adelaide show.

Hello Tony,

The show display was very nice. Good to see so many flowering bonsai on display.

Do you have any after pics of your morning demo tree? We had to leave before your big finale.
