Seminars Enhance Spring Garden Festival
Next weekend is the annual Spring Garden Festival at Kanapaha Botanical Gardens.
This annual event is much anticipated by the North Central Florida gardening community. More than 200 vendors and displays of just about anything garden-related are spread out over the gardens and tucked into tree-shaded nooks. Some exhibitors set up elaborate displays of colorful plants, deck furniture, whimsical windsocks or waterfalls. Artists show off their paintings and photographs, and there is food galore.
The two days are packed with live and silent auctions, a children's activity area, arts and crafts and educational exhibits. Special this year is an exhibition of the work of regional bonsai masters in Summer House.
1:30 p.m. Saturday: Barbara Chapman and Doug Morin are active in local bonsai societies.
Chapman is vice president of the Gainesville club (her husband, Steve, is president of the Ocala club) and Morin is in the Gainesville Bonsai Society.
Their presentation will be the demonstration of the repotting and styling of a tree. They will also have handouts.
The bonsai society meets on the third Saturday of every month at 9:30 a.m. at Kanapaha. There are more than 20 members, and there will be more than 40 bonsai specimens at the festival.
