In Japan it is not uncommon to have the same bonsai in the family for many generations. Each year these trees take on new growth and new forms of pleasure. The meetings normally last 2-3 hours. Some meetings are followed by workshops in which the participants can create their own bonsai. Some events have registration costs.
Some workshops allow the participant to bring their own materials.
Other workshops require purchase of materials supplied by the speaker. Details of all programs are provided in the society newsletter. The recorded messages on this line are updated monthly.
