FEATURE EVENT: Two Presentations

Join us on an exhilarating journey through the world of bonsai, where our adventurous club treasurer, Richard Keijzer, infuses his travels with the magic of these captivating living artworks.

Recently, Richard embarked on a bonsai odyssey to Tree House Bonsai, nestled in the picturesque Ami town of Ibaraki prefecture in Japan. Here, under the guidance of bonsai master Adam Jones, Richard experienced a fusion of tradition and innovation at the crossroads of a bonsai nursery and a traditional Japanese strolling garden. Acting as a cultural ambassador, Adam seamlessly bridges the East and West, nurturing a new generation of bonsai artists. Richard was not just a spectator but an active participant, spending days lending a hand in the garden, soaking up knowledge and camaraderie.

Next: Join us for an exclusive discussion led by Stu, where he'll unveil the secrets gleaned from Bonsai Empire's groundbreaking course, "Developing Bonsai from Seed"!

Discover expert techniques for nurturing small starter trees into magnificent bonsai wonders. From cultivating robust root systems to sculpting elegant trunks and branches, Stu will illuminate the pathway to bonsai greatness, including innovative strategies for maximizing the potential of sacrifice branches.

Don't miss out on this invaluable opportunity to elevate your bonsai craft to new heights! Mark your calendars and prepare to embark on a journey of growth and mastery. See you there!

These two extraordinary presentations promise to ignite our passion for bonsai as we eagerly anticipate the dawn of a new growing season in Grow Zone 3. Join us for an enchanting evening of cultural exchange, the forging of international friendships, and proven bonsai techniques. Let's cultivate our love for bonsai together, one leaf at a time!

WE START PROMPTLY AT 7 PM.
