I will be attending once again (my pilgrimage to Denver for Labor Day music and bonsai has become annual.)

Curious who else is coming and what day you plan to be there! I would love to meet some people, and will wear my BNut badge from Mary.

I will be there Sunday. Coming in earlier than I originally planned. Going out for a workshop with Todd Schlafer starting on the next day.
 
@Colorado will you be there? Any other Denver area nutters?

I would love to go, but they have the show on Labor Day Weekend every year and it just so happens to be my wedding anniversary weekend. So, I usually am not able to make it.

It is a great event, though! Have fun!

this coastal doug fir was my absolute favorite of the compositions. I’m bummed I didn’t a chance to chat with Samantha about it, as I really love the care put into both the place and season represented here.

Good choice. Show looks well attended...
 
Yes, we got there right at 9 as doors were opening and it started to pack out. Denver Botanic Gardens are gorgeous and well worth a visit on a normal day, but the show is an extra treat.

They have a permanent collection and I got a lil tour from the curator when I talked to him while he watering. Below are some selections from the permanent collection.
