This weekend will mark the first meeting of the Bonsai Society of Greater Cincinnati Advanced Study Group.  The study group consists of two groups of 8 students who meet on either Saturday or Sunday.  Each group will meet 4 times a year for 3 years with the group mentor, Suthin Sukosolvisit.  I will be a part of the Sunday group.  I'm very excited about the first meeting.

Each group member brought 3 or more trees last fall for approval by a committee.  Here are those that I will be working with over the next 3 years.  I hope to include pictures showing the progression here on the blog.
