Arthur Joura sent this notice to bonsai clubs in the SE:
The 19th annual Carolina Bonsai Expo
will take place at the NC Arboretum on Saturday, October 11th and Sunday, October 12th, 2014.
This year's guest artist is David DeGroot. Ask any person knowledgeable about bonsai in the US to name the top 3 public bonsai collections in the country, and the Pacific Rim Bonsai Collection will almost certainly be on the list. David DeGroot has been the curator of that collection since its inception, more than 25 year ago. His expertise in the horticultural aspect of bonsai is matched only by his understanding of the design principles that make it an art form. In addition, David is an engaging teacher and an entertaining speaker who has traveled extensively throughout the country as a visiting artist. Some old-timers in the crowd might well remember him as the Expo guest artist in 1999, and if you missed him then you will appreciate this opportunity to get to know David. Those who already know him will be, as I am, pleased to welcome him back!
