This issue of the “Bonsai Clipper” mentions our Christmas Party and miscellaneous news about our recent 2018 Annual Show, and the nominees for Officers and Board of Directors. Martha Goff has again been kind enough to submit an article” “Winter Activites for Tropical Trees” now that we have what we in Southwest Florida call “winter”! (Was down to 49 this morning!)
This Newsletter lists the winners of our show last week and discusses the topics for our next meeting on Saturday, November 17.
Rain is Good! In this month’s Newsletter we talk about our plans for September, October and November. Page 2 talks about the Sho Fu August meeting. Page 3 contains examples and a description of Haiku, a very short Japanese poem art form, and Page 4 describes upcoming classes at Wigert’s Bonsai Nursery.
This Newsletter describes the topic of our next meeting on Saturday, June 16, and briefly outlines our events for the remainder of this year. Page 2 is a writing by Michael Hagedorn (https://crataegus.com/) on “When to Let a Tree Off The Leash”…an easy-to-read and amusing article about when to let trees grow before styling. Page 3 is all about “June Tree Care” by Martha Goff, one of our many resident experts on Bonsai. Page 4 talks about “Upcoming Classes at Wigert’s Bonsai Nursery” (https://wigertsbonsai.com/), and on this same page is a photo of a marvelous Bonsai display by John Bartolozzi that won “Best Legacy” planting at the recent BSF Convention.
Here is the schedule for the 2018 Programs, Tips by Martha Goff on repotting tropicals, and some notes and drawings from a recent workshop with Juan Andrade.
