I thought everyone would enjoy a picture from last year’s spring grow-plot workday. Everyone had fun repotting and working on the trees. This year’s first workday is planned for April 2nd, from 10:00 am to ???, come on out and join the fun. It is a great way for newer members to learn about repotting and styling and for experienced members to hone their skills. As usual lunch will be served. Dress for the weather and bring your tools. We have some tools for those of you who have not yet accumulated every tool that there is for working on bonsai. We have a pile of wood for a bonfire and the makings for s’mores.
Please notify Linda Camp or Jim Beck (630-690-0404 or jbpuofm@aol.com) if you are interested in attending so that enough food can be purchased for lunch. We will also be passing around a signup sheet at the next 2 general meetings. Maps are available or request.

On August 15th we will be working on maples at the grow plot. If
you would like to practice what you learned at the meeting please come out and help. Just give me a call at 630-690-0404 and let me know that you will be there. We can use the help because the doctor will have me on restricted weight lifting at that time. We have a lot of maples and now is the time to start them on the way to becoming good workshop material
