Others should come with their questions to learn more about raising \u201ctrees in a pot.\u201d This will be an opportunity to meet local bonsai community members, see firsthand how to raise miniature trees, and get information on different types of plants, recommended tools, preferred pots, soil materials and other basic supplies. A raffle is also planned to offer bonsai items.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter we regrouped following a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic, our club refocused our organization and decided to adopt a more casual, informal approach,\u201d said Doug Lau, newly-elected club president. \u201cThe members voted on less structure and more time \u2018getting our hands in the dirt\u2019 instead. Our club\u2019s goal is to educate others and expand the interest in this living art form.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the Mother Lode Bonsai Club, contact Lau at (209) 588-8106, or dlauhale@gmail.com. Everyone is invited to attend club meetings, demonstrations and workshops regardless of their levels of experience in bonsai. Members come from Amador, Calaveras and Tuolumne counties, as well as the San Joaquin Valley.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>San Andreas, CA&#8230; The public is invited to the Mother Lode Bonsai Club\u2019s meeting and workshop on Saturday, September 10 at 10 a.m. The hands-on workshop will be conducted by club mentors as part of the club gathering at the San Andreas Central Library, 1299 Gold Hunter Road (off Mountain Ranch Road) in San Andreas.
