Kofu Kai Events and Club Meetings:

May 17, 2025          Please join us this month as the California Bonsai Society brings                                                Heike Van Gunst from Hamburg, Germany as our guest speaker. With                                      over 40 years of experience including chief editor the German BONSAI                                    ART magazine, founder of the Bonsai AK Hamburg & Umland club, to her                                  bonsai related travels to Australia, Belgium, China and Japan, this will be                                  a special evening.   

April 19, 2025          Wanda Danesi will be our guest bonsai artist this month.  Wanda has                                        been involved in bonsai for many years and enjoys working with a variety                                  of plant material.

March 15, 2025        Will Baddeley, master wood carver will be our guest speaker

Feb. 15, 2025           This month Kris Springer will be our guest artist.  He will be critiquing                                         member trees, but this probably won't be your traditional bonsai critique,                                   as Kris tends to be a little less than conventional.  This should be good!                                     Please contact David Melitz if you want to bring a tree.

Jan. 18, 2025            No club meeting.  Unfortunately, the Baikoen Winter Silhouette's                                                exhibition at the Los Angeles Arboretum has been canceled due to the                                      wildfires in the area and the poor air quality.  

                           

                                  If you haven't done so already, please remember to pay your                                                      membership dues for 2025.  Please go to our "Club Membership"                                              webpage to download our membership form.
