For this Beginner's Workshop we used parrot's beak (gmelina philippinensis) to create a unique bonsai tree.  I think everyone had fun and hope they continue to learn and love bonsai!

Have you ever seen a miniature tree in a pot – known as bonsai – and wanted to learn the skills needed to grow your own?  In this hands-on class we’ll teach you the basics of how bonsai are created, and get you started growing, styling, and caring for your very own tree!

Kerry has been in the horticultural industry for over 30 years.  He is also a a collector of unusual trees, shrubs, perennials, and bulbs and is currently the buyer, nursery manager, and merchandiser at Jamie's Mulch and Landscaping in West Chester, OH.  Needless to say, he loves bonsai!

If you didn't make it to the yamadori outing with Ben Kirkland from Appalachian Bonsai (Appalachian Bonsai) you missed a great trip.  Was it cold?  YES!  Did it snow the night before?  YES!  Did everyone have a good time and find some great trees?

In this month's meeting, Ben Kirkland from Appalachian Bonsai talks all things yamadori!

First Saturday free meet-ups at the Krohn Conservatory are now open. Members meet at the Krohn to work on their own trees while chatting with other members and enjoying a few hours dedicated to your own trees.

You will need to bring a table cloth as well as your tree(s), tools, and supplies you will need when working on them.

BSGC Monthly Meeting

There will not be a BSGC meeting in January.

We had our annual holiday party at the Krohn once again this year.  This was the 30th annual party, which was started by members Joe and Mary Kayata way back in 1993.

Thanks to the BSGC for another great year!
