We will have 5 separate bonsai clubs participating this year with 60 displays of trees. There will be an exhibit of Kusamono (accent plants) and Suseiki (viewing stones) as well. The Nashville Bonsai Society will also feature a Tokonama display on Saturday and another separate display on Sunday. There will be numerous vendors selling trees, plants and pots.
Our show will be judged by Brussel Martin from Brussel’s Bonsai Nursery out of Olive Branch, MS. He will give a full bonsai demonstration on a tree we will raffle off at the end of the day on Saturday.
