The document summarizes an upcoming event called the Bonsai Circus hosted by the local bonsai club on March 25. It will include club announcements and presentations on various bonsai topics such as styling, air layering, wiring, soils, and more. Members and guests can attend the different demonstrations to learn from experts. The event will be held in the greenhouse so it will be warm even if the weather is cold outside.
The Rotary Club of Freshwater Bay's bulletin provides updates on club events and initiatives.
1) The club held a successful quiz night fundraiser that raised $3,200 to support club projects.
2) Simone gave an overview of the Waist Disposal Challenge initiative aimed at promoting healthy lifestyles among Rotarians.
3) The bulletin discusses upcoming events including the club's birthday and Christmas dinner, and the Dr. Ken Collins address which will launch the Paul Harris Society in the district and recognize contributions to The Rotary Foundation.
1. The document discusses various ways that residents at an old age home in Pune find happiness and purpose, such as through spiritual activities, hobbies, caring for others, and socializing.
2. It profiles several residents, such as a former actor who entertains others through mimicry, women who enjoy dancing and taking care of each other, and a man who finds solace in compiling Bible verses.
3. The organization that runs the home aims to provide small comforts and activities for residents to keep them happy, such as occasional treats, outings, and cable television.
The document provides information about Bungarribee House, the first land grant in Blacktown, NSW, and details from a Rotary Club meeting.
Key points:
- Bungarribee House was built in 1825 from imported bricks and stone with local timber, without nails in its construction.
- The Rotary Club meeting discussed welcoming guests and students, hearing reports from committee chairs, and upcoming community events they would assist with in September.
- DG Keith Roffey invited the club to the official launch of a $200,000 project to upgrade the adolescent wing of the Children's Hospital at Westmead, a legacy of the three Sydney Rotary districts.
The document discusses the principles of bonsai design that distinguish true bonsai from simply growing trees in pots. It notes that proper bonsai design considers the relationships between the tree's height, width, and the pot dimensions. Over multiple years, careful styling, pruning, and repotting can transform a tree grown from a seedling into a bonsai that reflects these design principles. Following the guidelines is important for trees to be considered true bonsai artwork rather than just potted trees.

5) Lone parents should live with and be supported by extended family.

Finding the bonsai in the tree by Viky Petermann - revisedPierreJvR
This document discusses finding the design within a tree when starting a new bonsai. It recommends taking time to look at the tree from multiple angles to come up with 3 potential design options. Choosing one design and using drawings as a reference guide pruning and wiring. If no design is apparent, putting the tree aside for a few weeks and looking again from different locations can help the right design emerge. Examples are given of using this process to find designs for specific trees.
The document announces an upcoming visit and workshop with renowned bonsai artist Roy Nagatoshi on April 25th. Roy will help club members prepare their trees for an upcoming bonsai exhibition and provide advice to improve members' trees. The document also announces the Potomac Bonsai Association's annual festival at the National Arboretum from May 3rd-5th, which will include displays, workshops, and vendors. Additionally, it advertises the Richmond Bonsai Society's annual picnic and auction on May 19th and the PBA auction on May 26th.
1. The document provides instructions for transforming a crapemyrtle plant into a bonsai tree by following several key steps: finding the bonsai within the plant, choosing the front, pruning branches, wiring branches into shape, and potting the tree with proper soil and container.
2. Key techniques discussed include studying the plant to decide its future shape, removing faulty branches, using wire to change branch angles to appear more natural, and severely pruning the roots before placing the tree in a suitable training pot.
3. Creating a bonsai requires regularly repotting the tree, pruning both roots and branches, and rewiring it over many years as the tree develops in order to maintain its miniature
1) The document provides guidance for beginners to develop quality bonsai trees within three years by acquiring good material and following proper development steps.
2) Common mistakes like immediately potting small material and using refinement techniques too early retard bonsai development and should be avoided.
3) The author recommends starting with species that grow vigorously, collecting or planting in the ground for trunk development, frequent fertilizing, and patience.
Every bonsai tree starts with a source specimen, which is often a young plant that is suitable to the needs of bonsai. The practice of bonsai is a different form of plant cultivation, and the seeds are often not used to produce the source material.
Bonsai is the art of growing ornamental, artificially dwarfed varieties of trees and shrubs in pots.
Here are simple steps to follow to prepare Bonsai.

Bonsai trees are miniature trees grown in containers as a form of Japanese art. They are suitable for small spaces like apartments that lack outdoor space.

This manual provides a 5-day process for community members to collaboratively design an organic garden that meets the needs of the local community. The exercises over the 5 days include learning the physical and cultural history of the neighborhood, taking a walking tour to observe existing gardens, brainstorming design elements, creating a scaled final design, and beginning construction. The goal is to create a site-specific garden that incorporates local knowledge, honors community preferences, and brings neighbors together.

80th birthday rapidly approaching (July 2012), my wife,

other circumstances make this transition more difficult.
After having these bonsai independently appraised, they
will be available for sale at 40% off from the appraised
values until Labor Day, 2012.
Our plan is to host the last of our Wikle Bonsai Open

welcome visitation by appointment. If you would like to
