GSBF Golden Newsletter
Happy Spring Everyone,
What a lovely time of year, fresh green leaves budding out on our trees, days filled with longer sunlight and most trips to the bonsai garden entail a pinch or two of extended maple foliage.
Please read the attached April Golden News newsletter*. We have updates on several past Give Back Winners as well as announcing important Give Back deadlines and Joshua Roth ‘Rising Star’ application deadline. Mark your calendars for 7:00 am on June 9 to be first to complete registration for the 3 day Bonsai Rendezvous and sign up for one or several of our numerous workshops. In addition, make sure your club is represented in the All Club Show at the Rendezvous. Please let me know if your club will participate in the club show.
Circle Monday, April 28 at 6:30 pm on your calendar. Scott Elser, recent Pacific Bonsai Expo winner of Best XL Large Conifer award, will explain why, how and when you air-layer during the 2nd quarter GSBF Golden Zoom program. This technique can help you to create new trees and/or improve your tree’s nebari. The zoom link will be sent to club representatives 7-10 days before the program to be distributed to club members. Flyer attached.
Happy Pinching,
Dodie Newman
GSBF Treasurer
