  As every  year, during the Madonna della Ghiara  feast , the Giareda  arrives  on time, national rendezvous of bonsai , suiseki and kusamono.
The  tested  experience of  “The Elen Bonsai Club”, the magnificent organization  of the exhibition  and the desire (almost an abstinence  after the summer  rest) assemble  in Reggio Emilia a good part of the Italian lovers  and not. 

Unlikely in other exhibitions ten bonsaists find themselves to work  simultaneously wonderful  plant   exemplars.
The passion  and the skill of Mr. Enrico Savini with his pupils  of Future Project, vitalize  the two days contest.
 

 
 
This year , in addition to the simultaneous workshop of 10  clubs, there was also the attendance  of Mrs. Silvia Orsi with her books and her passion in spreading the increasing mania of accompanying plants , kusamono and herbs in pots.
 
 
 
Another appointment has been the exhibition concerning  us  , of suiseki.
In consideration of the proximity  with the AIAS congress it has been somewhat  snobed   by the great winners of the previous years .  All  even though , 20 stones  were in contest.
Priceless the attendance  for two days of  Mrs. Luciana Queirolo   who although the long libations has  made her utmost in long  explanations, discussions and finally in the final judgement.
 
The reporter  for one day Ulisse , together to other AIAS members attending , have made as much as possible to advertise  our art. The most inexpert public remained enchanted by the natural shapes  of  displayed stones. We hope that someone of them can become fond.


At right , the tableful  ready to grant  and satisfy all numerous participants .

 
As by  custom , there has been a final verdict  and an awarding. At the first three places , two AIAS members . Always   our member has been the winner of the IBS plaque.
