Congratulations to both of you!!!

Boon’s New Bonsai Work Shop

You are looking at the very first work shop taking place in Boon’s new place. The lighting is great. The space is larger. It is still a bit new looking, but great bonsai and teaching will be taking place here. That is a given.

Intensive students who, in a week, will be winging their way across North America have something to look forward to. This is definitely a “step up”.

You will only miss one thing. Jai no longer lies right in front of the entrance. He tends to stay closer to Boon. But you’ll get used to it.

Pacific Northwest Convention Exhibit Winner

I want to congratulate Tom Knoblauch.   He won the best of show at PNBC in Washington.   It is the Japanese white pine below.  This tree was also in the  first national show in Rochester, NY.  The picture is from our 2008 B.I.B. bonsai exhibit. Today it is much improved and more refined.

As part of the greater B.I.B.  Bonsai Boon family, Tom is a graduate of the three year Intensive Program.

One of the greatest satisfactions I get is when students and friends do well. Like Tom , many students are now becoming leaders in their communities. They are beginning to teach – and they show great trees.

Again, congratulations Tom. This is why I teach.
