[IBC] Bonsai in the Austin, TX area?
I will be visiting in the Austin, TX area for about 10 days starting May 5.
Last year when I was there I was fortunate to be able to visit a bonsai show Zilker Park (Barton Springs) which was excellent. Does anyone have information regarding any events or bonsai nurseries in that area? Thanks, Carol in Florida ************************************************** ****************************** ++++Sponsored, in part, by Edmund Castillo++++ ************************************************** ****************************** -- The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ -- +++++ Questions?

Carol,
I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our club's show. I am the show director this year, my first time, and hope to make it as good or better than last year. It doesn't sound like you can make it this year but the show will be May 21st and 22nd from 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM. There are plenty of other bonsai items of intrest in Austin and Central Texas. We have 4 bonsai nurseries in and around town. These are Bonsai Exotica, Jade Gardens, MBP Bonsai, and Persimmon Hill Bonsai. All of them are top quality boinsai nurseries, and all four seem to have they're own niche... from recently imported Japanese bonsai to shohin to native plants you'll find no where else but Texas. (Texas persimmon is a good one to look out for!) Austin also has a Japanese garden designed by Isamu Taniguchi. This is in Zilker park, so you may have already seen it. The Central Texas Bonsai Exhibit is very near Austin in Wemberly, hosted by Jade Gardens: http://www.wimberley-tx.com/~bonsaijg Our club meets at Zilker Park, Wednesday, May 11th at 7:00 PM. We will be having a guest speaker, Marty Klajnowski, give a lecture on preparing for a show. Please let me know if you have any questions. Warm regards, Jim ************************************************** ****************************** ++++Sponsored, in part, by Edmund Castillo++++ ************************************************** ****************************** -- The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ -- +++++ Questions?
