Andrew Robson Special Deciduous Bonsai Workshop Program

Andrew Robson, who is founding a bonsai school, garden, and nursery in Portland, Oregon named RAKUYO (a Japanese word that translates to “deciduous, fallen leaves”) is coming to Baton Rouge to do a bonsai program, Sept. 4, 6:30 pm, at the Baton Rouge Garden Center, 7950 Independence Blvd., Baton Rouge.  His website is https://www.rakuyobonsai.com/

This will be a special deciduous bonsai lecture/demo/workshop with discussion.  As always, the program is to help everyone improve their bonsai collection and learn new bonsai techniques.  The participants will bring one or more of their deciduous bonsai to be discussed and worked on in a lecture/demo setting where all the observers can see and learn the techniques.  As Andrew critiques the tree, the bonsai owner may choose to have him perform the work at that time or use the advice given to complete the work themselves.   Registration will start at 6:00 pm and the program will start at 6:30.  The cost is $5 (Free for LBS members) for registration and $10 for each bonsai to be worked on.  The more you participate the more you will learn.   To help us setup the seating arrangement, please RSVP to Lowell Tilley 225-241-2396 or e-mail lowelltilley@gmail.com.
