National Arbetorum, 20th of March.

Yesterday I visited the National Arbetorum, and it's Bonsai Week,19 - 25 March. I heard a talk by a Bonsai artist, Ofer Grunwald and then saw the Bonsai collection. There are many Australian plants and they are amazing. The cafe has a great sellection of food and the surrounding views are breath taking.
