The
level of information presented is designed to satisfy the appetite of
all members. Our club sponsors a number of activities during the year:
ADAMS RANCH DIG:
This historically has taken place around the end of January. Club
members can collect a number of types of trees to make bonsais out of.
The varieties include, cypress, Florida elm, Florida maple and Simpson
stopper. This is always a club favorite.
BONSAI SOCIETIES OF FLORIDA
(BSF)VISITING ARTIST PROGRAM:
BSF provides bonsai artists from around the world to do programs for
our club. The club selects the artists that they want to have for a
meeting where the artist does a demonstration, workshop or tree
critique.
BUS TRIPS AND CARPOOL TRIPS:
Our club has made a number of trips in the past. We visited Mary
Madison (Buttonwood Queen) to buy cypress and buttonwoods. We also have
visited Miami Tropical Bonsai in Miami for plants and pots. We have
visited the Kawa (Daytona Beach) Club Bonsai Weekend in Bunnell to
enjoy the festivities. All we need is a good idea of a place to go and
we'll make the trip.
BSF CONVENTION:
BSF has an annual convention typically on Memorial Day Weekend. The
convention is a fun event with headliners from around the world. There
are demonstrations, workshops, vendors and a lot more. This a great
opportunity to meet bonsaist from around the state and exchange ideas.
Our Club always participates in "Club Nite". We usually do a forest
planting that competes with other club's compositions for a cash prize.
It is always fun!!!
MONTHLY PROGRAMS:
Our programs are geared toward learning about bonsai. We have artists
from around the state that do programs for us in addition to our club
members that do programs; they are always informative and interesting.
BONSAI NURSERIES:
We are fortunate to have four nurseries in our membership. On the
fourth Sunday of each month, we have "Bonsai Under the Oaks" at Jim
Smith's Nursery where anyone can come and get free advice on bonsai, be
it trees, pots or any other problem.
We
at the Treasure Coast Bonsai Society welcomes anyone that is interested
in learning about bonsai to come to our meetings and meet new friends
who share your passion for " The Art of Bonsai".
