This past weekend the Toronto Bonsai Society held its semi-annual show and sale once again at Edwards Gardens, now known as the Toronto Botanical Garden. Despite the poor weather, the attendance by the public was once again quite good.

Numerous trees were on display in all of their glorious fall colour. We seem to have timed the show just right to coincide with this annual fall spectacle.

Both club members and vendors were at hand to sell their surplus trees, pots and other supplies. The show provides a great opportunity for all visitors to buy a tree or two and to join our club if they so desire.

If you have not been able to attend our shows or evening "social", you are indeed missing a good show. Many members also brought a number of trees along for the members' work area at the show. The advantage here is twofold. Firstly members get a solid block of time (namely the whole 2-day show) to work on their trees with the help of others if desired, and secondly, the visiting public gets to see first hand how trees are worked on to look like the magnificent specimens that were in the show.

Below are some pictures of members at work, and also of some of the fine trees on display. Naturally, to appreciate their fall colour, you will need to visit our web site.
