Hey Leigh,

For those who cannot make it in March, will the events be streamed again?

It was so great last year to be able to access remotely!!!

Hi Daniel

Thanks for your question. Sadly we won't be doing that again as we simply didn't have enough interest to make it viable.

Regards
Leigh

Sorry to hear it Leigh, I found it so valuable, educational and entertaining ... will request leave tonight then, as it's definitely worth the drive from Sydney!

Bought my tickets, very excited to be going in person!!!

Hi Everyone

Tickets are selling fast, but there are still some available for workshops and the Bonsai After Dark event.
Beginner workshops had completely filled, so we opened another up on the Sunday, there are now only 3 spots left in that one, better be quick.

Don't forget, we have the market day over Friday, Saturday and Sunday this year with vendors from:

Canberra Bonsai Studio
Adelaide Bonsai Pottery
Treemakers
Bonsai Sensation

It will be great to see you all here.

Do you have to book to visit the Bonsai Markets?

Hi Max

Thanks for your question.
No need to book for the market, just come along.

Open 9 till 4
25-27 March.

Cheers
Leigh

Hi Leigh,

Will the demo's at the bonsai after dark be Australian natives? Secondly am I right in assuming that there are no 'observer spots' for the workshops?

Hi gnichols

Yes, we will have at least one native in the demonstrations.
Sorry, no observers for the workshops.
Still a small number of spaces left for participants though.

Cheers
Leigh

Hey Leigh,

Just wondering if Sam will return as auctioneer extradroinaire this year?

- Daniel

Hi Daniel

If that's what the people want, I shouldn't stand in the way.
