Goulburn Bonsai Exhibition - The Photos

Post by Watto »

The Goulburn Bonsai Society may have been the smallest bonsai group in Australia until our exhibition where I think we may have doubled our membership. But the exhibition just held was put together by the hard work and dedication of about seven people and we had a great time. Well maybe not the setting up and pulling down but the two days of the exhibition were fantastic.
I'm going out on a limb here and saying the quality of our few members bonsai has improved significantly over the past few years and the quality at the show was very good for such a small group.
Anyway, enough carry on, here are the photos.
PS - it is great to have a vehicle such as Ausbonsai to promote our show and thanks to Steven for letting us use this site to encourage other Ausbonsai members to attend.

You probably noticed that there are a lot of English and Chinese Elms, well over a few years we have had the opportunity to dig these varieties and this is the result.

Thanks for all the positive comments.
We are very pleased with the English Elms and hope they will continue to improve over the coming years.
Unfortunately its a bad time to display plums as the flowers have finished and the fruit is not yet set.
