Great trees, lovely handmade pots, all day demonstrations, advanced trees and starters for sale and potting mix.

Just a few shots to see if the photos show any issues before the weekend.
Not sure if we are supposed to preview but hey people might like to see them

Looking forward to seeing your trees Ken, and also I need some Acadama so that will be two birds with one stone.

Many awesome trees on show.
Come along and see them in the bark if you get a chance

What an excellent show!
Hope someone can post lots of photos as there was so many lovely trees on display

Yeah it was a great day. Damn! I didn’t take any photos. I was too busy being happy in my element all day talking to new people about Bonsai.
I loved how many natives there were.

Home now and can upload my pics.
Just too a few of the general arrangements and tables

Ken

Yep. Awesome show. Some really fantastic trees. Great demos. And successful auctions.

Great job to all involved. The numerous volunteers, all the sponsors and especially those responsible for making this happen.

Is anyone going to tell us what tree(s) took out the awards?
Looks like an alocasuarina? with 2 cards. Did that one pick up both major prizes?

I Made a slide show vid of the event on youtube

mods i tried to make it happen help please.

Hi Shibui, I have a few photos which I will post later, but as a teaser here is the winning tree and the best native.
The winner was a Silverberry and the best native a She Oak.

Oops

I think this is a fantastic concept and the effort put in by the organizers should be applauded. I am very hopeful that this will be an annual event and can only go from strength to strength.
I am sure the organizers learnt a lot from this first attempt but more importantly exhibitors would have learnt that we all need to up our game to put on a really excellent show and reward the organizers for their effort.
Anyway, I had a great time and I would like to share a few photos for those who couldn't make it this year.

Thanks for taking the time to photo & upload Watto - did you have a favourite? Buy any pots????

For the first time in history I managed to come away from a show without buying a pot, not because there were not some fantastic pots there, there were, but the shed is full!
A couple more photos.......
