Sherman Library and Gardens is hosting a traditional Japanese bonsai display on Saturday, June 3rd. Debra Mauzy-Melitz, from Orange Empire Bonsai Society, will conduct an interactive demonstration, including how to display a bonsai tree in the traditional Japanese three-point display or in the modified two-point display. She will discuss how seasonality affects display element choices such as Suiseki (viewing stones) or accent plants as companion element to bonsai. The audience will help Debra design a display. The demonstration will begin at 11:30am and continue until 12:30pm. This demonstration is free with garden admission.
