Enrique Castano will be in town on Monday, June 20. We are having the meeting at CeeJay’s Nursery – Carolyn’s place – and will begin promptly at 6:30. We will be getting a pre-bonsai tree from Eric Wigert and I expect this to be an outstanding program.
We have talked about a workshop prior to the meeting. So, let’s presume there WILL be a workshop. The total cost of $300 would be divided amongst those attending (provide your own tree and tools). The workshop would probably begin about 2pm. If you want to participate IF there is a workshop please contact Paul.
Directions to Cee Jay Nursery:
It’s very easy to find………………..just stay on 98 going towards Bartow, go past the Polk Parkway & 540. (From Plant City you could come on the parkway.) Then on the left you will pass PSC/UCF campus (there is a light)……..then a huge cemetery…………..after that there will be a turn lane to turn left on Lake Hancock Road. The nursery is down the street on the left. There is usually a pickup with a huge sign in the back advertising Cee-Jay Nursery parked on Lake Hancock Road that you can see from 98.

Polk Museum of Art is home to a small, but beautiful, collection of Japanese textiles and prints, including several kimonos that were donated in 2006. This exhibition will include a few of those, as well as Tsukioka Yoshitoshi’s master woodblock print series 32 Aspects of Women.
There is another Japanese exhibit there at the same time, Functional Ceramics: European and Japanese – highlighting Japanese and European ceramics to address Japan’s greater focus on form versus Europe’s greater focus on surface decoration. The ceramics exhibit runs until July 18.
