The "public" sounds good.

However, do you mean the same "public" who prefers the mallsai over anything else (and refers to bonsai as ming tree)?
After all, Home Depot sells mallsai because the "public" buys it. There is nothing wrong with that, but is this the public standard that you are aiming for?

Or maybe you mean the public who appreciates art (or nature) and seeks out esthetic experiences that may enrich their spiritual life.

Or you've meant the public, regular at bonsai exhibits, with an aquired taste for bonsai?

Who is the public ? (is Andy or Walter a member of the public?)

Just wondering.
