Doug Taylor Bonsai tool Sharpening
Edgerton Park
141 Edgehill Rd, Hamden, CT 06517
Like many of his generation Doug first saw bonsai in the Karate Kid movies. He was inspired to try it for himself after a visit to Cape Cod Bonsai Nursery in the summer of 1999, his main teachers having been Nick Lenz and Suthin Sukosolvisit. He is currently studying with Boon Manakativipart and his longtime friend and teacher Nick Lenz. Doug’s collection consists of too many species to list, but his favorite is American Larch.
We will open the doors for our meeting at 6:30, in hopes that members will come to chat with each other, ask questions, and bring trees that you would like advice on. There is a lot of knowledge in our society, and we are excited to share it with you! .
As has been a tradition, we will also be hosting our speaker for dinner at the Playwright. All are welcome to join us starting at around 4:00 PM.
