Celebrating 50 Years

On May 1, 1969 a group of twelve men and women, with a common interest in the Art of Bonsai, met at the home of Reuben Meirhenry in Winter Park, Florida. By July, club officers were chosen, and it was decided that those joining in the month of July, 1969 would be considered charter members. CFBC joined Bonsai Clubs. The club is still going strong today!

October Care

With October’s shorter days and possibly cooler temperatures, plants will not be needing as much water. Keep a close eye on the plant’s water requirements making sure they are not over watered in order to prevent root rot. Water plants early in the day so the leaves will be dry when going into the night hours, thus decreasing the chance of any leave fungus.

Next Meeting

Each month, CFBC hosts a demo/meeting and a workshop.  The demo meetings are generally the 2nd Friday of the month, at 7pm, at the UF/IFAS Center (6021 S Conway Rd, Orlando, FL 32812). 
If held elsewhere, it will be notated on the flyer for the event and below. Please check the calendar for meeting updates.

“The bonsai tree symbolizes some of the keys to a lasting marriage: nurturing, patience, caring, and growth.”

Unknown

“The object is not to make the tree look like a bonsai, but to make the bonsai look like a tree.”

John Naka

“It's for those who don't know what 'bonsai' means, too. Just come. Learn from there.”

Tim Shea

“Our brains are like bonsai trees, growing around our private versions of reality.”

Sloane Crosley

“The bonsai is not you working on the tree; you have to have the tree work on you.”

John Naka

“Bonsai is a traditional art that has continued for several hundred years and it should remain in our lives.”

Kenji Kobayashi
