Kusamura will take its annual bus tour up to Sebastopol. The bus leaves the First Congregational Church Parking lot at 8:00AM on Saturday August 27th. (Note: If you received a printed copy of the newsletter it has the wrong date!) Bring a lunch as there are no stops for food along the way.
We will go to Sumigawa Nursery and will have a chance to visit their growing grounds. This is a wonderful opportunity to pick up some nice material grown especially for bonsai.
We will then head over to The Redwood Empire Bonsai show where Yasuo Mitsuya from Japan will do a demonstration at 1:30PM. This is a wonderful show to see. In addition to the show exhibit space, there are vendor booths selling everything you could ever imagine needing for bonsai. Besides the vendor area, there is a plant consignment area.
