News Update -  December 2008

Queensland bonsai arrive for the 2008/2009 summer.

Eight bonsai have arrived from Queensland and are now on display at the NBPCA.

They include two figs not normally seen in the ACT, the Willow Leaf Fig and the Queensland Small Leaf Fig, a Bougainvillea and a Jade.

Due to the frost tenderness of most of these bonsai they will only be in Canberra until April 2009 and then they will be returned to Qld.

Lindsay and Glenis Bebb transported the bonsai, at their own expense in their truck, the approximate 1,250 kms from Brisbane to Canberra. 

The NBPCA thanks the owners of the bonsai for loaning them to us and to Lindsay and Glenis for also treating the assembled guides of the NBPCA to a talk about the bonsai.
