The Sydney Bonsai Spectacular

Is being held again on the October Long Weekend - Sunday 5th and Monday 6th October at Merrylands RSL.
Doors open 10am and close 4pm

Gold coin donation upon entry. Proceeds will go to YOUTH OFF THE STREETS

10 top Sydney clubs are combining to present some of the best BONSAI, PENJING & SUISEKI in Sydney.

Here are pictures of some of the trees at last years SBS

I would suggest that anyone with even a slight interest in bonsai should get along to this spectacular show, open Sunday and Monday only. Not only will there be bonsai, suiseki and penjing, but also many of our well known traders all in the same venue, as well as demonstrations and advice.
Be there or miss out

come along and "Be Inspired" to Merrylands RSL this Sunday or Monday.

Who are the artist doing the demos?
When and which days?
Cheers

Sue Brennan from BSA will be doing Demos, mid-morning and mid-afternoon, on the Sunday.
