show displays

I couldn't find a previous topic that fit, and perhaps this title leaves
room for a number of different photos and ideas.

Our spring show is on this weekend, and two of our members built
a crevice garden just outside the door.  They learned how from
Zdenek Zvolanek who visits Victoria every year.  I didn't time them,
but they are amazingly quick about it.

No, it was built on Friday and will be dismantled on Saturday night
at the end of the show.

Someone suggested they should have it built on a trailer so they
could just tow it to various shows.
