February News and Updates

February 25, 2023 by Jonas Dupuich

I’m knee-deep in repotting projects these days but have a few items to share so I’ve made this week’s post more of an update.

(And for those looking for repotting tips, see a basic repotting overview or info about selecting containers or soils for your repotting projects.)

Bonsai as Fine Art

The Blue Ridge Bonsai Society is pleased to announce a celebration of “Bonsai as Fine Art”  in Asheville, North Carolina, June 2 through June 11, 2023.

The keystone event will be an exhibition entitled “Bonsai as Fine Art” featuring trees from professional bonsai artists Bjorn Bornholm, Daniel Coffey, John Geanangel, Arthur Joura, and Brad Russell, plus displays from members of the Blue Ridge Bonsai Society.

The bonsai will be displayed in a fine art setting at the Blue Spiral 1 art gallery, amidst artwork chosen by the gallery to complement the aesthetics of the trees. 

Concurrent events at the nearby North Carolina Arboretum include an invitational exhibition of bonsai pottery, demonstrations, a vendor garden, and live and silent auctions.

For a full list of events and information about how to attend, visit the Blue Ridge Bonsai Society website.

New Online Course from Bonsai Empire

The creative minds at Bonsai Empire have released a new course today: Developing Bonsai from Seed.

The course features five and a half hours of video from instructors Bjorn Bjorholm and Michael Hagedorn. Topics covered include propagation, root development, trunk development, and branch development.

From what I’ve seen, the course looks to be a great introduction to the topic. You can learn more and preview selected sections at the Bonsai Empire website.
