Our 2012 Bonsai Show

SHOW OVERVIEW 

Visitors enjoying our annual show.

Our show was again held at the Botanical Gardens on May 19th & 20th. The Botanical Gardens provide a beautiful back drop for our Western New York show and a natural compliment to our love of trees.

There was a demo each day conducted by Mike Coppola & Paul Pirson. In addition, a sales area provided the opportunity to purchase bonsai, starter material, pots, stands, tools, soil and more. We also raffled off a beautiful bonsai.

Members Selling Tickets 

Dick Smith was answering questions at our raffle ticket table & selling raffle tickets for the bonsai at left end of table. In addition, he was talking about our club, its benefits and enticing attendees to join our society.
