Can't wait to be inspired

Post by Gerard »

May 18 is getting closer.
The Friday nursery and garden tour and welcome reception :beer: for the AABC convention.
I have been watching my Boon dvd's :reading: to get in the mood and tidying my trees to make them presentable.
For those Victorians not attending the convention itself the display will be open to the public and promises to be quite special. :hooray:

Yes it is getting closer to getting on the flight, and seeing what you guys have got to show us. I am looking forward to observing Boon in action, pity about not being able to bring the stock home, so just silent observation, still you learn plenty just looking and listening to Sensei like Boon.

This photo is about a year old and I am not sure how much it has changed but I am confident you will enjoy seeing this one.

Look forward to seeing that one for sure, I am sure there will be plenty of good trees on show.
I would suggest to all who can get along to the exhibition to do so.

As it is an opportunity to see some of what Australian talent we have, when it comes to Bonsai.

Cheers proud Australian talent scout :lol: :hooray:

After spending a few hours preparing trees for display, I have just been outside to find that the birds did not like the way I had planted moss.
I think it is time to sack the cat.
