In the past, most of the bonsai were overwintered in that pavilon, including some Japanese and American trees.

In the past I have been at the museum in the dead of winter and the bonsai were very attractively displayed.

But, in spite of the bonsai still being on display, you can visit the International Bonsai Pavilion which houses many bonsai artifacts, viewing stones, the library and much more.

There have been many new additions to the Museum in the past year and I can't wait to see all the improvements in May for the 5th World Bonsai Convention.

I hope to see you there and also at the Growing Grounds for my workshops in early March.

Let us have a report when you return, have a safe trip!

Bill
