NASHVILLE BONSAI SOCIETY

2003

• JUNE The Nashville Bonsai Society June meeting will be held on Tuesday, June 24th, at 7 p.m. in the Potter Room, Botanic Hall, at Cheekwood Gardens. Pat Conrad will be our guest speaker. The topic is "Tropicals and Ficus as Bonsai Material." Pat claims you can do almost anything to narrow leaf ficus and it doesn't hurt them. Let's hear more about this! (Some of the ficus family are not as tough as the narrow leaf variety, however.)

• SEPTEMBER Looking ahead, our future speakers are Bart Mackey in Sept. speaking about bonsai design principles.
