36th Annual Mid-America Bonsai Exhibit

Our August show is our show with the longest history, going into year 36 in 2013. It is one of the biggest regional shows in the nation. Centered on the Chicago Botanic Garden's Permanent Collection, featuring almost 50 world-class trees, it’s a showplace of trees from across the midwest. Enthusiasts from five states bring their trees to be judged in the main hall at the Garden's Regenstein Center - with this year's Guest Master Bjorn Bjorholm. There are no residency or membership restrictions for entering the show - any tree that can make it to Chicago is welcome to be entered.

Any IBCers going?

I will drop in on Friday afternoon, to see the displays and to shop. I will be out of town for Sat and Sun, so unfortunately I won't be able to attend the workshops. This is the best event in the mid-west.

I'll be attending and displaying a pine bonsai in addition to my sales area.

I'll be going, but by the time I found the time to sign up for the one and only interesting one for me was the workshop by Jim Doyle. Bonsai: Intensive Techniques, it was full. And only 6 people. Wish he'd done another one ;(

I'll be there, and also acting as a docent on Saturday (I'm a Midwest Bonsai Society member).

Its good to see that we'll have an IBC presence. I will be there Saturday and Sunday. I wanted to sign up for the Jim Doyle workshop as well but I have to work on Friday. Heyyou what's your name?
