Meeting Activity: Club Styling Competition (and repotting/general tree work for those not competing)
For this month’s meeting we will be having our very important Club Styling Competition. For those who may not know, the annual Club Styling Competition is used to decide who will represent our district at the annual BSF Convention. The material this year will be Juniper (procumbens nana) and is provided by the club at no cost to participants. Because North Florida Bonsai Club is the only club in our district, the winner of this competition goes on to represent NFBC at BSF.

NFBC Monthly Club Meeting
Meeting Activity: Tool Use & Care (Some mid Winter Deciduous Tree Work too!)
This January we will be going over an often overlooked aspect of Bonsai…Tool use and maintenance. Both are critical to the horticultural health and achieving the desired aesthetic of your bonsai. David Ruth has graciously agreed to lead this topic discussion. Additionally, we encourage you to bring your Deciduous trees that need some mid-winter work. It will be a great opportunity to exercise some practical applications of what we’ve learned!
