Bonsai Society Monthly Meeting with artist Mark Fields

Professional bonsai artist Mark Fields will be visiting the BSGC and doing a demo on creating a shohin tree using an itoigawa juniper (Juniperus Chinensis 'Itoigawa Shimpaku'.)  Mark's main focus is on shohin sized trees and he has an amazing collection of trees both personal and for sale at his nursery in Greenwood, In.  The tree Mark creates will be raffled off at the end of the meeting.
