The show at Castle Hill is being put on at the Hills Shire Council Chambers by the Bonsai Society of Australia.

Ken there has been phamplets at the school for weeks.Pat Kennedy will be doing some demos on both days on how to make a bonsai pot. Am sure he will have some for sale as well.

:imo: This show is always worth a visit.
