Past MeetingSunday, July 8th
Room 101, Casa del Prado, Balboa Park At our July meeting, Ted Matson will be here to give a presentation on some unique warm weather varieties like Mexican guava, Ficus burtt-davyi (veld fig), and a couple of other varieties that he will show and discuss. Ted has been studying bonsai since the late 1970s. He began his training in San Francisco, where he learned the basics under John Boyce. In 1980 he moved to Los Angeles and became involved in many Southern California clubs. Ted began a serious pursuit of the art, taking classes from leading masters in Southern California, including Ben Suzuki, Shig and Roy Nagatoshi (Fuji Bonsai Nursery), Melba Tucker (the Bonsai Pavilion houses her Catlin elm forest), Warren Hill, and John Naka. Ted Matson maintains a busy teaching schedule, traveling throughout the country sharing his vast knowledge of bonsai. Ted Matson is currently the curator of the Bonsai Collection at the Huntington and is very well known in the bonsai community. |
