      Minutes of the March 9, 2014 meeting of the Michiana Bonsai Study

Present:     Larry Benjamin, Rose Benjamin, Jeny Davis, John DeMaegd, Kathy Lee, Cat Nelson,

Peggy Norwood, Carol Novy, and Bob Trimmer

Location:     Linton’s Enchanted Gardens, County Road 17, Elkhart

Program:

       Larry guided us through a Power Point presentation from the American Bonsai Society called "Show Time". Although bonsai is an art form and not easy to critique, this program illustrated traditional guidelines that apply. It was designed to help us understand these standard judging criteria and help us prepare our trees for showing. As we apply these guidelines, hopefully we will appreciate them all the more...whether or not we ever enter them in a formal, judged exhibition.
