Great friends and their great trees met this past weekend at for a discussion and work with wiring. We are so grateful to have both knowledge and generosity in our membership and time to be able to share it.

At today’s meeting club members gathered to share stories about trees lost and lessons learned.

They shared these stories in an effort to heal, learn and grow from mistakes made and knowledge gained so that from the collective experience all members could walk away wiser.

If you’re not part of a club or bonsai community, consider joining one. If you haven’t encouraged someone else in their bonsai practice, take this opportunity to do so. If you haven’t shared a story about a tree lost and learned a lesson, give it a try.
Life is too short for boring bonsai and too long to do alone.

Thanks Mark Arpag for sharing this jewel!
