NEXT MEETING OF THE ANN ARBOR BONSAI SOCIETY
OCTOBER 22, 2008 7:30pm (socializing begins at 7:00pm)
LOCATION: Matthaei Botanical Gardens Auditorium
PROBLEM TREE REVIEW AND CRITIQUE. (Bring your own tree)
Presented by: Connie Crancer, Cyril Grum, Bill Heston, and Jack Wikle.
Members are invited to bring in any bonsai or any plant material for bonsai (no limit on number) on which they would like advice on work that can be done on-the-spot and work that could be done in the future. Those who are willing are also encouraged to bring their tools and wire to do before the group whatever work can be done at this season. Order of discussion will be determined by drawing owner names and our panel will critique as many trees in turn as time allows. (Bring your own tree).
EDITORIAL NOTE: There are many opportunities to learn about growing/training bonsai trees, but this may be among the best. These experienced growers share their observations, techniques, insight and skills in a very positive learning environment. If you have a tree that might require a little bit of expert advice, then you really should attend. You never know, you might be one of the lucky participants to have your tree worked upon!
JUST ANNOUNCED!Also! AABS has recently acquired a substantial number of bonsai pots that will be auctioned at this meeting. Should be a lot of fun!
Hope to see you all there!
