The display will again feature high-quality bonsai from the collections of CBS members, including some created by local artists currently represented in the National Bonsai and Penjing Collection of Australia at the National Arboretum, Canberra (NAC). It will include both traditional exotic plant species and Australian species.
This year we are expecting that there will be many highly refined trees on display and some traditional Japanese tokonoma-style displays.
Demonstration sessions will be held daily at 11 am and 2 pm, covering aspects of designing and maintaining bonsai.
Plant sales this year will include starter plants, advanced stock trees and styled bonsai. The CBS plant sale is an excellent opportunity to buy bonsai and stock plants of a quality not often available in Canberra.
Australian-made and imported Japanese and Chinese bonsai pots, tools & wire, and books will also be available.
Visitors will be able to vote for their favourite bonsai.
