As part of Garden Week, Waverley Bonsai Group will again have a display at the Melbourne Zoo this weekend (October 26 - 27). We will have members in attendance answering questions, giving advice and in general getting the public interested in our wonderful hobby. I understand that this year we will be located in one of the pavilions.

So if you're down at the Zoo this weekend come and say g'day!

Hi cre8ivbonsai , what a fantastic venue :tu: . This is the type of venue that i like to see Bonsai displayed in all their glory :D . Congrats to your club for thinking outside the square and showing off this art in a hugely popular venue like the Melbourne Zoo :wave: . Mixing it up with the public who actually show huge interest however mis-informed they really are .Well done and I know you would have enjoyed the day in the public arena ;) .

Cheers Alpine

Thanks Alpine, as part of garden week there was also a smaller display of Orchids, and a few other zoo activities for the kids out on the lawns in front.
