Program:
Larry guided us through a Power Point presentation from the American Bonsai Society called "Show Time". Although bonsai is an art form and not easy to critique, this program illustrated traditional guidelines that apply. It was designed to help us understand these standard judging criteria and help us prepare our trees for showing. As we apply these guidelines, hopefully we will appreciate them all the more...whether or not we ever enter them in a formal, judged exhibition.
