I’m only aware of 2 sellers who accept eftpos, Ashley from Bonsai World and Tien from Bonsai Sensation.
I recommend you bring cash with you.
See you tomorrow.

Hi all
Look forward to seeing you all there tomorrow! Come find me at the far corner of the market in the 'Tree Makers' stall. Will have a mixture of raw material and well progressed trees available to purchase. Mostly all my material will be exotic trees i am clearing in place of an almost solely native focus from here on in, so may be your last chance to purchase a more traditional species from me, for a while anyway. Next year will be looking a whole lot different!
Will have Both Cash and EFT options available when purchasing.
Look out fro our logo when perusing the market to find our stall. Come say Hi would love to have a chat!

Congratulations to Steven and all the vendors. A great Ausbonsai day from what I saw; lots of plants and pots. I bought a number of smallish pots for myself and my ever growing collection of Shohin bonsai.

I wish I was able to attend; went to a lovely wedding though. Well done to all involved - sounds excellent. Next year perhaps. [THUMBS UP SIGN]
Bonsai teaches me patience.

Thanks to everyone who came and supported the AusBonsai Market! A notable attendance by Grant Bowie who looked remarkably well considering his heart was transplanted only weeks ago
If you’d like to see a video of the opening we went Live on Facebook which you can see here

There were some amazing bonsai for sale this year as well as some excellent hand crafted pots by 4 potters.
Right now I’m pretty exhausted but already thinking of ideas to make the next one better. If you have any suggestions please let me know.
Regards, Steven

Thanks so much for a great well organised day Steven.

Yeah I agree. I wish I could have stayed and talked longer, but it was a Daddy and kids weekend for me.
As always, the people in the bonsai community are really what makes it so fun. Ditto on seeing Grant and having a chat, I hope you have 50 more years ahead of you mate. Always a pleasure talking bonsai with you.
Awesome day Steven.

Anyone get some photos of the sellers displays. I was a seller and completely forgot to grab a picture of my set up
