This Newsletter starts with notes from our last meeting. On April 26th we will hold our Annual Auction, so there are two forms for those who wish to offer items for sale. Following that is a detailed description of the BSF Convention to be held in Orlando, Fl on May 23-25, 2025. This is followed by another issue of “Martha’s Corner” featuring the Gmelina (Parrot’s Beak). Also included are the schedules for our local classes, and contact info of our club vendors.
This month’s Newsletter discusses the events of the last meeting, what’s coming up for our March 15 meeting, and “Martha’s Corner” which talks about the Ilex species. Also included are descriptions of three study groups with Mike Lane, Adam Lavigne and Dorothy Schmitz.
Please join us for our Annual Auction. There will be two types of auction: Silent and Live. You are welcome to participate in both. This is a great opportunity to add to your collection at usually very low prices.
This newsletter discusses preparations for our Annual Bonsai Show, a complete Schedule of Events, and an in-depth discussion of Display Layout. Also included are two forms…the 2024 Exhibit Tree Submission Form and the 2024 Judging Evaluation Form.
Attached is a fairly large newsletter that discusses our November Bonsai Show in detail. Rick Owens goes to great length to talk about display layout, how to design and build one, the stand, placement, and other elements of a successful display. There are many “clickable” links that go to various sources in greater detail….click on any print that is blue. The “Tree Submission Form” is included and can be easily printed. We hope to see all of you at our next meeting on Saturday, September 21st at 9AM.
This issue of the “Bonsai Clipper” discusses the July meeting notes, a discussion of our guest speaker Hiram Macias, and the newly installed Torii Gate.
