Bonsai Show at Sherman Gardens

Sherman Library & Gardens and Orange Empire Bonsai Society are proud to present a Bonsai Exhibition and Show on Saturday, Feb. 2 and Feb. 3 from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. which will include Winter Silhouette Bonsai as well as a variety of other bonsai trees.

On Saturday, February 2 at 11 a.m. a Bonsai Workshop for ten people will be offered by Jason Chan of Eastern Leaf Bonsai (easternleaf.com). Participants will learn the basics of initial tree designing, wiring, and repotting of a Juniperus Prostrata in a hands-on workshop taught by Jason Chan and assisted by mentors from the Orange Empire Bonsai Society. This will be a two-hour workshop with a lunch break after the first hour of work. Pre-registration is required.

On Sunday, February 3 at 1 p.m. Debra Mauzy-Melitz will demonstrate the making of a Saikei (a small landscape with multiple trees) with audience participation.

All visitors to Sherman Library & Gardens on that day are welcome to participate. Debra is a member of Orange Empire Bonsai Society and was a demonstrator at the Fullerton Arboretum during Green Scene.

A sale table will be available on both days with bonsai trees, small accents, and pots offered.

Sherman Library & Gardens is at 2647 E. Coast Highway in Corona del Mar.
