This year we are doing our annual Bonsai Show on line due to the pandemic. We are sad that we cannot show these trees to a public audience, nor will we be able to judge by category or present ribbons to the best of show. Our next best choice is to present these trees to the world and ask everyone to vote on line. Here's how:

November's Newsletter describes the "Virtual Show" that we will be having on line due to the pandemic limitations in public gatherings. Instructions for presenting your tree are described. Page 2 describes "Seasonal Considerations" by Adam Lavigne. Also in this newsletter are the notes of the latest Board of Directors meeting, followed by an article by Jim Bremer discussing Juniper Bonsai.

This is from a post by Martha Goff this morning: “I just wanted to let everyone know that my friend, Ginny Boka, passed away at 4:10 this morning. She was 93 years young. She was not alone. Her beloved daughter-in-law was with her. She was smiling and just closed her eyes and moved on. Not only was Ginny my friend she was also one of my first bonsai mentors.
