You’ve seen the show. Now here’s a look at what happens after the doors close. 👀

In about 60 minutes, the entire bonsai show comes down, thanks to an incredible crew of committed volunteers working together.

Trees picked-up. Displays packed. Tables cleared. Everything carefully put away until next year.

We truly couldn’t do it without them. 💚
