Once again, the Midori Bonsai Club put on a very successful and entertaining Cherry Blossom Festival this past weekend. And just in time for this spring's new bonsai experiences, Christian Sierra will be sharing with the club everything you wanted to know about bonsai soils, watering, and fertilizers.

April is truly a wonderful month for bonsai, spring is in the air, our bonsai trees are now putting on their new growth and our annual Cherry Blossom Festival bonsai show is finally here!

March is a beautiful month to me, signs of our trees pushing their new growth, with swollen new buds, and emerging leaves bursting out. Yes, spring is slowly showing its face for us bonsai enthusiasts.

Our club has a problem to solve, but really it's a good problem. If you have noticed for the past few meetings our attendance has exploded, with new members and others who are interested in attending our meetings. It is a blessing to see this happening!

Another year with the Midori Bonsai Club has come to a conclusion. It provided us with new opportunities for those that love this beautiful art form we call bonsai to look forward to new learned skills and programing with our club.
President’s Message
Here we are, at the end of another year with the Midori Bonsai Club, a time to reflect on what we have experienced or accomplished in our lives. I hope everyone can say that they have grown and have come to appreciate the world of bonsai more fully this year, and have developed a better understanding of its beauty and complexity.
President’s Message
I was truly impressed with the variety and quality of bonsai trees that were on display at our show this year, and now I want to learn more about how they all came about.
President’s Message
I want to take this time to thank the many club members that volunteered to make our show happen this year. We have many new club members that stepped forward this year to help even though they had never experienced a bonsai show before.
President’s Message
With September here, our club's show is now but a few weeks away. Every year it sneaks up on us, and I'm really getting excited since we finally get a chance to show off our bonsai trees we've worked so hard on.
President’s Message
We are now only two months from our annual bonsai show at the Cupertino Quinlan Community Center on September 30th. I'm getting very excited, as we all should!

I hope everyone is now prepared for the warmer weather the Bay Area is headed for now that July is showing its true colors with 100 degrees temperatures predicted.

What a joy it was to see our beginners program kicked off this past third Thursday’s meeting.
This month, Ray Stagner will work with our beginners showing them how to approach a young juniper sapling and making it into a pre-bonsai that they can be proud of and take home that evening.
President’s Message
As I sit down to write this message to the club, my thoughts are surrounded by our Cherry Blossom Festival taking place this coming weekend.
Working with pre-bonsai material that everyone can find at local nurseries is always a hunt that all of us enjoy since the upfront cost is very low, and readily available.

Jonas Dupuich will be coming to our first Thursday meeting in April to set matters straight regarding progressive pine development.
President’s Message
March is when the Bay Area starts seeing our first signs of spring weather, and with that, new growth starting to appear on our bonsai trees.

After much discussion with our board of directors regarding the cancelation of our first Thursday meeting, we decided to reinstate January's Tree Improvement Program to this month’s first February meeting.
President’s Message
I’m hoping that everyone’s Christmas and holiday season was filled with family joy, and the spirit that all is well fills you as we move into another bonsai club year.

Here we are at the end of another year with the Midori Bonsai Club—often a time of year when we get a chance to reflect on what our lives have experienced or accomplished.

We are privileged have Bonsai Mike Pistello share his bonsai knowledge with us in November. The Christmas Party will be here before you know it, and some photos from our show.

By the time most club members read this newsletter, our show will have been completed. And hopefully, everyone had a great time sharing the day together along with our friends and guests.
