On Saturday, December 9, 2017, we were honored to have Rodney Clemons give us advice on our trees. He discussed styling techniques, fertilizers and root trimming among many other topics.

We are proud to announce that Hurricane Irma has not stopped us from having our Annual Show and Sale on Saturday and Sunday, Nov 4-5, 2017. We are also proud to announce that several clubs in Florida are going to participate with their own entries. There will be several workshops and demonstrations by Dorothy Schmitz, Ernie Fernandez, Jim Gehring, Ed Trout, Adam Lavigne, Justin Michael and Phil Krieg. There will also be five different vendors. We will be having two raffles each day, and these are perfect opportunities to obtain high-quality trees at great prices. Click on the links above for more details.
We are delighted to forward to you, as a member or friend of BSF, a link on YouTube to an outstanding video by one of our BSF members, Rich Bonn. Thank you Rich for your expertise and dedication to this project. It provides an excellent synopsis of a very special bonsai event that took place during Memorial Day Weekend. We hope that you enjoy the video, and that you book mark next Memorial Day Weekend for the 2018 BSF Convention, again in Orlando.

Feel free to share this link with friends or others who might enjoy it. Our intent is to spread the good word about bonsai as far and as wide as we can. While the video provides snapshots of various Convention events, you have a final opportunity to order our acclaimed commemorative book of professional portraits of all the Exhibit trees in the 2017 ABS/BSF Convention.
