Show and Tell: Chuck Cockman brought stones he had found in Arkansas. Chuck also brought an upright and cascading Azalea in full bloom. Bill Watkins displayed his winning Kingsville Boxwood. Tom Howard was showing his Tsukumo Cypress Saikei, that was also a winner at the show. Pat Coen displayed a Barberry and Jack showed his Bougainvillaea. All the trees brought to the meeting for Show and Tell were very nice bonsai. There were a lot of items that were raffled off, but the big item of the night was the landscape that was done during the landscape and styling presentation by Pat Coen and Mike Flanagan. They did a two tier landscape which turned out very nice. Thank You, Mike and Pat for the demonstration and information. Upcoming events and meetings June 12, 2004 GARDEN TOUR |
