UPDATE:

Waverley Bonsai Group is proud to announce The Melbourne IKENOBO school, representing Ikebana International Melbourne will also have a display of Ikebana at our show this year Even more reason to pop along and have look around!

Less than 2 weeks to go

This year, along with our 'Best in Show' award judged by the experts, we will also have a new popular choice award.

Thanks to our long-running partnership with the Japan Club of Victoria and their Japan Festival – at which we display a room full of bonsai in May each year – They have generously donated the Japan Festival Award including a prize to the bonsai voted favourite by the first 100 members of the public to visit our show on Saturday morning.

So get in early this Saturday (opens 10 am) and have your say as to which bonsai is the best!

Looking forward to another great show. I'll have rock pots for sale and some plants. This is the first show I've ever displayed trees in so they're good enough. Usually a great chance to grab a bargain off the sales tables and demonstrations throughout the day. Should be a great show, worth dropping into.

In the Sales Room .................
For those wanting a bargain get in early, we have a number of members downsizing their collections so some good trees should be on hand.
Some members are bringing pots, starters and advanced pre-bonsai.
Bonsai Art will have their usual range of excellent starters to mature bonsai.
The Pot Lady and the Stand Man will be offering their hand crafted wares.

Be Well,
Zyggy.

Hi Josh, if you don't mind me asking, what are "rock pots"? Do you have a photo? Cheers, Simon.

I carve hollows into rocks to create a natural looking rock setting for bonsai. These are a few of my larger ones. I have a couple of smaller ones. I've given a few away lately so don't have as many to sell as I'd hoped.

Continuous demonstrations from experienced members both days ... A trading room packed with bonsai, pre bonsai, and starter stock, pots old and new, big and small, including some wonderful pots by Joann and Josh's rock pots, Bruce's fabulous stands, wire caddies and tool tables, plus many more goodies that not even I know about yet!

So hope to see you there THIS WEEKEND

Hey Ryan, its shaping up to be another great show. I'm hoping to be there early afternoon say around 2ish. This rain is delaying a few things at work so will depend on what happens today and tomorrow morning but at this stage should be there most the afternoon to help out.

Cheers
Josh.
