April 19th, 7:00 p.m.

John Romano

Edgerton Park, Carriage House

141 Edgehill Rd, Hamden, CT 06517

John is one of our best local bonsai artists, known nationally for his shohin expertise (i.e. 5-8” from top of soil to top of tree). He has a great eye for aesthetics and the skills to make his vision a reality. While he is best known for his shohin work, John’s knowledge of Bonsai goes far beyond that. For years he has run and taught at the Kaikou School of Bonsai at New England Bonsai (Littleton, MA). We are fortunate that he is a friend and member of our club.

We will start 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!

If you are not a member, please fill out our membership application form to join the club. You will get the chance to receive all of our informative newsletters, as well as participation in our auctions and workshops.

The bonsai is not you working on the tree; you have to have the tree work on you…
