EXPOBONSAÏ 2010
9th and 10th of july
Each year, the annual exhibition of the SBPQ, EXPOBONSAÏ, attract hundreds of visitors which come to discover those miniature trees presented in a breath taking site, the site of the nursery Bonsaï Gros-Bec. It is without a doubt that this is the strong moment of the year for the society and the members that can enjoy specimens coming from the four corners of the province!
The event show more than hundred of Bonsaï (japanese style) and Penjing (chinese style) from SBPQ members but also from other society (Groupe Bonsaï Québec, Société de Bonsaï d'Ottawa, Club de Shawinigan, etc.) as well as those of the permanent collection ot the tree nursery Bonsaï Gros-Bec.
In 2010, it was an incredible year, nearly 1,000 people went to visit the exhibition! This year promises even more SBPQ. With
2 very impressive greenhouses which sits atop the hill, overlooking a
magnificent view on the region, we are able to guarantee exposure, and
all activities no matter the temperature. Given the incredible success of the tours last year, this year we repeat this experience for the enjoyment of visitors. In
addition to guided tours, interpretive panels, several kiosks, gardens
and greenhouses of the nursery Bonsai Gros-Bec, access to trails of the
Rising Sun, demonstrations by professionals, etc..
