What a joy it was to see our beginners program kicked off this past third Thursday’s meeting.

This month, Ray Stagner will work with our beginners showing them how to approach a young juniper sapling and making it into a pre-bonsai that they can be proud of and take home that evening.

As I sit down to write this message to the club, my thoughts are surrounded by our Cherry Blossom Festival taking place this coming weekend.

Working with pre-bonsai material that everyone can find at local nurseries is always a hunt that all of us enjoy since the upfront cost is very low, and readily available.
