Winter Silhouettes Trip
Saturday, January 13th
It is once again time for us to visit our friends, Baikoen Bonsai Kenkyukai, and enjoy their annual Winter Silhouettes show, potluck dinner, sale, raffle, and live auction at the Los Angeles Arboretum. Each of the bonsai on exhibit are deciduous and as you may assume from the title, in their leafless winter glory. Some may still have their fall fruit, others may have new spring blossoms. The members of Baikoen are very talented and put on a spectacular show. There will also be a taiko drum performance in Ayers Hall.
Along the way, we will stop at David and June Nguy's Bonsai Jidai in Chino. They have quite a collection of impressive bonsai for us to admire, some nursery material, and a selection of affordably priced bonsai pots. Next we will head to San Gabriel Nursery. With traffic cooperating, we may have some extra time to explore the Los Angeles Arboretum before it closes.
The cost for the trip is $40 for the bus and a dessert to share at the potluck meeting that evening. We will depart from the Balboa Park bus staging area at 11:00AM and the Carlsbad staging area at 11:30AM. We will return to Carlsbad by 10:30PM and Balboa Park by 11:00PM. A sign-up sheet will be available at the next club meeting or you can sign up below.
Please bring:

"Winter Silhouettes bonsai show at the Los Angeles State and County Arboretum exhibits the best work of California's own bonsai masters. The trees displayed, all deciduous species in their leafless stage, are such perfect miniatures of full-grown trees that they do, indeed, seem to verge on the magical." -- LA Times
