In celebration of Earth Day this year, April 22nd, the Greater Louisville Bonsai Society was invited organize a small display in the lobby of the National City Tower building.  There was a lot of traffic through the lobby, and, as a result, the club received a great deal of exposure.  This exposure goes a long way in helping grow our club and educate the general public about bonsai and their care.  Thank you to Earl Ekman, Brian Schanding, and Michael Tigue for taking time out of their busy days to help organize this display and help answer questions.

At the time of this writing, I am still eagerly anticipating the Spring Show at Yew Dell Gardens.  Earl Ekman and his crew have been working extremely hard to make sure it’s a great show.  Earl, the club owes you a tremendous debt of gratitude.
