Michigan All-State Bonsai Show May 15, 2011

Experience the awe-inspiring beauty of bonsai in this show, featuring specimen trees entered by bonsai artists from throughout Michigan. While the word "bonsai" means "tree in a pot," not just any potted tree qualifies as a bonsai. A bonsai should capture the spirit of a tree growing in nature. Look carefully and notice the sturdy trunks, the interesting bark and delicate foliage. Vote for your favorite bonsai or attend a free demonstration and watch as bonsai are pruned, wired and repotted. Shop for hard-to-find pots, tools and bonsai trees. Sign up for a workshop and create your own bonsai--the best way to learn.
