For the first time we had a judge attending our show and critiquing our trees. There’s always room for improvement and we will try to make it better for next year but, overall, we believe that this “experiment” was a great success. The judge’s comments have been recorded for each tree entered in the show and will be handed to members at the next meeting. We hope that these comments will let you see your trees from a different perspective and help you refine your bonsai even more.
Ribbons have been awarded for first (blue), second (red) and third (white) place for both the novice and open classes. We also had three extra ribbons: People’s Choice, Award of Merit and Best in Show.
