Bonsai Europa 2015

Not long now.  Here’s hoping I get a press pass 🙂

Here’s the Photography & Social media policy for Bonsai Europa.

Photography

All photography and video is permitted however please be aware that many are wishing to see the show without having to waltz around photographers lining up for the ‘perfect’ shot. Please be courteous when photographing the exhibition. No Tripods as they cause a hazard and inconvenience other visitors. Please ask if you wish to photograph a demo artist with a flash as this can be both dangerous and off-putting.

Social media

This is a polite request that visitors do not post social media updates of individual trees until the event has closed on Sunday evening. Group photos and ‘general views’ are encouraged and a special Instagram frame for ‘selfies’ will be available for instant updates.

Opportunist

Not one to miss an opportunity, I woke up a few days ago to hear next door’s gardener ripping out all the plants from their garden. I went out and had a word and managed to salvage three azaleas, a Potentilla and a Euonymous. Azaleas are quite tasty 🙂 They’ve been cut back hard every 2 years for the last 15 years Better with me than in a skip 🙂

Thoughts on shopping for bonsai

Portland Bonsai Village website is live!

At long last…we have a website.

Thanks to so many of you who donated to our Village Indiegogo campaign, you played a huge role in funding this thoughtfully designed, scrolling website. It was dreamed up by Kathy Wu, who has done a lot of work for some major brands like Nike, Intel, Bridgeport Brewing, Jenny Craig, and the LA marathon. The Village website was definitely a sideline project for her, and we were very, very lucky to catch her interest. She was a delight to work with, three cheers for Kathy!

Also we need to thank our great photographers, Anna Harris and Kozue Takagi. Photography was really important in this particular website, and they really came through with some beautiful images.

And finally, thanks to all the volunteers who put their passion and love into this grassroots enterprise, it would not have happened without…
