It's the most exciting time to be busy at work with the trees we've developed and nurtured over the many years we have shared with the club.

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.

The days are longer and warmer, and the sun angle has been sneaking up on us, so we need to get into watering mode now, in earnest, as the growing season is in full swing.

Spring is pushing everywhere. I’ve pretty well finished transplanting and have been refreshing the top soil on many of my trees that didn’t need transplanting.

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.

Nice rain year for bonsai—though not so much for my golf game.

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!

This year we’ve had a steady stream of soaking rain, but very little sticking as snow pack in the mountain watersheds which may create a problem later in the year. Still I hope there is more on the way in February and March.

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.

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.
