We need your help. The objective of the Gulf Coast
Bonsai Foundation is to preserve legacy bonsai to pass on to the next
generation by training people to develop and care bonsai that will be showed to
the public in a bonsai exhibit garden at the Burden Museum and Gardens. We need members to help take care of the bonsai on
exhibit and prepare other bonsai to go on exhibit. You can also attend bonsai workshop class
conducted by the best bonsai teachers in the world. November 16, we will have bonsai classes
conducted by Randy Bennett who specializes on Japanese maples and bald cypress,
Lawrence LeClaire who specializes doing Japanese black pines and junipers, and
Joe Day who specializes in broad leaf evergreens. No Bonsai experience is needed to join, just a desire to promote bonsai art and education.
We hope to get enough members to enable us solicit support
from businesses and the public to hire a collection curator. This will be a very valuable asset to whole
Gulf Coast region and the bonsai clubs.
