PRESENTING BONSAI
APRIL | As always it was a pleasure to welcome Teunis-Jan Klein to our club. He took us through every aspect of presenting bonsai. A very welcome and interesting topic in a year where we will host our tri-annual exhibition.
WORKSHOP ACCENT PLANTS
JUNE | Under the professional guidance from Sven Bertholt, we spent a full day workshop on creating accent plants, both kusamono as well as the smaller shitakusa. We all went home with new insights and ….. gorgeous accent plants!
CLUB | FOREST PLANTING
FEB 6 | It’s always a pleasure to welcome Jarek Lenarczyk. During a 2 hour demo he created a beautiful Japanese larch forest planting from scratch. Jarek explained every step of the process, providing tips & tricks and answering questions from the engaged group of members.
CLUB | YEAR OPENING
JAN 9 | 2023 started well with our first club meeting in which we welcomed 3 new committee members. And Alain De Wachter provided tips and tricks on how to further improve a zelkova, with the help from the zelkova from Wim Jame. Needless to say that we listened carefully.
CLUB | DEADWOOD DEMO
DEC 12 | At the end of 2022, during our December club evening, we welcomed Andres Bicocca and Márcio Meruje as our special guests. Andres demonstrated his famous woodworking skills on a few trees, and shared many insights that will help us to continue to develop our trees.
