     Quick update 28 Apr 2008
Welcome to a website dedicated to bonsai aficionados of all levels of expertise. Education is the focus, with an emphasis on techniques and design options to make your bonsai better!
Pine Desperately Seeking Design

Pathetic pine
Larger version


This pathetic pine and I are off to Washington, DC. I'll be conducting a two-hour demonstration at 11am on Saturday, May 3rd at the Potomac Bonsai Festival on the grounds of the U.S. National Arboretum, next to the National Bonsai & Penjing Museum. If you're in the neighborhood, please come by and say hi. Next month, I'll let you know if we were able to find the beauty in this beastly bonsai.
What's New: 22 Mar 2008: An Apprentice in Japan looks out the car window to see plenty of Drive-By Beauty... and in our second installment of House Life?, two big hazards are removed as our homeowner puts First Things First.
