The Wauchope Bonsai Group event attracted enthusiasts from Nowra, Sydney, Central Coast, Newcastle, Coffs Harbour, Armidale and Tamworth.
It was held at the newly refurbished The Francis Retreat at Bonny Hills.
The program was led by The School of Bonsai tutors, Dennis McDermott and Clinton Nesci. It included demonstrations of kusomono and suiseki by well-known demonstrator Brenda Parker, and daiza making with master carver, George Reissis.
The trading table and raffles proved popular, and there were lots of happy faces departing on Sunday afternoon.
The Francis Retreat provided a wonderful, peaceful, relaxing venue in which to share the love of nature, and a great weekend of bonsai friendship.
The Wauchope Bonsai Group meets on the second Saturday of each month at the Rotary Hall in Oxley Lane, Wauchope.
Come and learn the oriental art of bonsai. Visitors welcome. Contact Steve Wise 0413 585 116
