August Meeting - Yamadori with Andy Smith

Please note this this the 3rd Wednesday not 4th Wednesday as usual!
Andy Smith is a contract forester in South Dakota's Black Hills. He became fascinated in bonsai in about 1994 while collecting core specimens from very ancient pines to use in past climate studies. Andy Smith, commonly acknowledged “king” of yamadori in this country, transplants 300-400 trees per year for bonsai. He enjoys learning about this beautiful and extraordinary art and meeting with other enthusiasts around the country.
Andy will also be our guest artist for our annual club show the following weekend and will be hosting a demo and workshop. Please see show event for details.
