Bonsai workshop scheduled for Nov. 16
The Seneca County Arts Council will hold a Bonsai Workshop at 7 p.m. Nov. 16, at the Seneca Falls Library. Bonsai is the art of cultivating dwarf trees. Bonsai, developed by the Japanese more than a thousand years ago, is derived from the Chinese practice of growing miniature plants. The selection of containers, the position of the plant in the container, and the choice of single plants or plant groupings are important aesthetic considerations.
In Japan, various native evergreens, i.e., junipers, spruces, and pines, as well as many flowering deciduous trees, are cultivated; in America many native species have been found suitable. Mike Novik will conduct the workshop.
The workshop is open to the public and free of charge. For more information call 549-7030.
