February 07 - General Meeting

You won't want to miss this program, it's the first half of a two part extravaganza!  We will be starting at least 5 forest plantings, with groups planning and preparing bonsai forests that will be planted at the March meeting.  Variety is the name of the game...there will be pots, rocks and slabs being prepared for planting.  We will be deciding what trees (European beech, Mimosa, Trident maple, ficus, Kingsville boxwood, larch) are appropriate for which containers, the best forest  style  for each species and diagramming various configurations for tree placement.  All of this sets the stage for the March meeting when the actual potting will take place.  You don't want to miss either of these hands-on meetings.
