Diablo Bonsai Club 2007 program.
Sensei Kunitoshi Akabane is requesting all members, Basic and
Intermediate to look in Garden Nurseries for appropriate material. The Club may not conduct field trips to Bonsai Nurseries in 2007. The objective is to direct the members to
look at basic nursery stock, 4" starter trees, 1, 2 and 5 gallon stock as potential bonsai material. This is to help the members develop their ability to look for and select basic raw material for development potential.
2007 classes will be structured around members questions and
discussion rather than Sensei's lectures.
