Bonsai Demonstration - Adam Lavigne on Tiger Bark Ficus

Join the Austin Bonsai Society for a demonstration on carving and creating deadwood on bonsai by our visiting artist, Adam Lavigne. Come learn about bonsai carving to create the illusion of age on a tree, as well as techniques on how to create natural-looking features to enhance a tree’s character. Adam will be working on a Tiger Bark Ficus (Ficus microcarpa) that was donated to The Texas State Bonsai Exhibit in 2016. Join us to learn about this bonsai technique and have a chance to win the demo tree, which will be raffled off at the meeting. 6:30-9:00pm at Zilker Botanical Garden.
