October CFBC News

FROM THE PREZ
Hello Central Florida Bonsai! I hope everyone is doing well. The club is moving forward and we hope you can join us in an upcoming meeting. We had an awesome first meeting presented by our own Paul Pikel on “The Basics of Bonsai Design”. It provided great reminders to vets and excellent information for newbies on the basic principals of bonsai design and horticulture. Two weeks later, the club had an in person workshop day of bonsai and fellowship at Agresta Gardens with Ben’s Church of Bonsai. Thank you to both gentlemen for your great teaching and hospitality. 

Our next meeting is October 9 at 7pm and is a Bougie demo presented by Ben Agresta. This meeting will have 2 ways for you to attend. One will be online through Zoom using the information below, or through live attendance at Agresta Gardens. The topics we will cover will be how bougies grow, proper fertilization, styling and health considerations of the tree.

Please remember in this meeting we will be taking a vote on the proposed temporary changes to dues and fees based on this year’s health constraints. 

As a reminder, we are responsible for one day of the silent auction at the BSF convention next year. Adam has more than adequate space at his nursery in the BSF section to start collecting live plant auction items whenever you want to start dropping them off. The sooner the better! 

The theme of the convention next year is Literati. If you have a tree that you would like to be considered as the official club tree, please let us know. We will let you know soon which meeting we will hold a vote. 

NEXT MEETING:
Topic: Bougie Demo
Time: Oct 9, 2020 07:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)

Friday, Sept 13th – Schley Mystery Demo

Our next meeting is Friday, Sept 13th at 7:30pm (demo start) and 7:00pm (meeting start). This month we are pleased to have Jason Schley of Schley Bonsai in DeLand come to us for a “mystery demo”. Since the tree is larger than the clubhouse door is, we’ll meet this month at Agresta Gardens, 1661 S Chickasaw Trail.

August Meeting & Willow Leaf Air Layer Forest Pt1

Friday, August 9th, 7:00pm. This month our meeting will focus on a Willow Leaf trunk that is around 20″ wide, and about 4 feet tall. It has a lot of damaged branches that make it unsuitable for bonsai, but the top is great and so is the bottom. We will begin a process of reusing the trunk elsewhere, and air layering all of the 4-5 inch wide branches, around 12-15 of them. There will be enough air layers for everyone to learn on, so be ready to get your hands dirty if you like. Our meeting format will be a lot shorter than normal, so if you are used to showing up late, you might miss quite a bit! 🙂 Topics include this months calendar (which is posted already on our website!) to see if there’s improvements or adjustments and additions based on your input. Help us set the year! Seeya there.
