Bonsai Basics

Informed by his longtime interest in growing bonsai, SGC member Chris Little will focus on choosing and caring for tropical bonsai species that can be kept indoors year-round. Additionally, he will touch on pot and tray selection, drainage, and soil mix, as well as methods of wiring plants to shape. Chris’s theme of approachable bonsai will emphasis the idea that a person need not to be an expert to create excellent bonsai specimens.

Meetings are usually held the second Wednesday of each month at the Tufts Administration Building, (TAB), 167 Holland Street, second floor, wheelchair accessible.
