Day Host: Leo Fortner Tokanoma: Art Kersten Text Box: ACBS March 01 Regular Meeting 7: P.M. Mobile Botanical Gardens Members Bonsai Show Host: Joe Kuhn Tokanoma: Joe Day and all ACBS Members Text Box: The one fact that I’m sure of is none of us ACBS members get to see the other members bonsai as often as we would like. Bonsai look so different at different times of the year and so beautiful for some short periods of time. Our shows can never be held at the exact moments that our bonsai look their best. This month we can bring any bonsai we like to the March meeting and show it to the other members. It can be a new tree, and old tree, a tree in development, any tree that you would like to show. This is a night to just enjoy the art of bonsai, talk bonsai, eat, drink and relax. We will talk about how to make your trees show ready. With a room full of bonsai to look over the talk can be easily done. It might be fun to tell your favorite story about our past show. To be a bonsai artist in your own back yard is one thing but to put your work out for the public to see and comment on is another thing. It fun and informative and funny at the same time. Joe.
