The exhibition and panel discussion
e exhibition and display of bonsai showcased some of the best trees of the Cape town region and was well laid out. Prominence was given to bonsai styled the African way.
A panel discussion with the headliners was held at the end of the convention, moderated eloquently by Ms. Chelsea Neil. e general advice by the headliners to all developing bonsai nations was that they should develop their own style of bonsai as dictated by the local trees present in their region but it was equally important that the cra smanship of the art must be not be allowed to decline.
