This annual event will feature more than 100 locally-styled bonsai and local vendors with handmade pottery\, trees\, bonsai tools\, potting soils\, raffles\, and a variety of other culturally related items. \nThis traditional horticultural discipline began in China over a thousand years ago and was brought to Japan through the culture of Buddhist Monks and refined into what is known today as BONSAI\, “a tree in a pot.” In essence\, this discipline cultivates and trains young trees to become sculpturally mature expressions of each species being trained under skilled hands and eyes of a sensei. \nDemonstrations will illustrate the process and development of a beautifully designed bonsai tree\, using both large and old raw materials. You will discover a variety of locally adapted species of trees on exhibit and for sale\, such as ficus\, elephant food\, holly\, pomegranate\, crepe myrtle\, citrus\, juniper\, cypress\, boxwood\, and more! \nLocal Sponsors: Tucson Cactus & Koi\, Strategic Habitat Enhancements\, & Brand Design Envoys \n\n\n\n\n\n\nUpcoming Classes\n\n\n\n\n \n\nSpecial \n\n Art of Bonsai: Tucson Bonsai Society \nApril 29 @ 8:30 am – April 30 @ 4:30 pm \n \n \n\n\n \n\nClasses\, Botanical Art \n\n Watercolor Nature Drawing Inspired by Beatrix Potter \nMay 3 @ 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm \n \n \n\n\n \n\nClasses\, Botanical Art \n\n Nature Photography in the Gardens \nMay 10 @ 10:30 am – 12:00 pm URL:https://localyardandgarden.com/event/art-of-bonsai-51st-anniversary-show LOCATION:SAHBA Pavilion CATEGORIES:Special ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://localyardandgarden.com/wp-content/uploads/bonsai1-6fxmzo.tmp_.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Phoenix:20230429T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Phoenix:20230429T130000 DTSTAMP:20260403T153947 CREATED:20230413T005709Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230429T023649Z UID:8182-1682762400-1682773200@localyardandgarden.com SUMMARY:2023 Members’ Reception DESCRIPTION:As the spring sun warms the Sonoran Desert\, Tohono Chul invites Members to join us in celebrating Arbor Day on Saturday\, April 29th\, from 10 am to 1 pm for the 2023 Tohono Chul Members’ Reception. \n\nDuring this festive event\, you’ll have the chance to learn more about the work Tohono Chul does and how you can get involved in the community!

They range from the tiniest of creatures — scorpions\, beetles\, bats\, and mice\, to larger mammals\, coyote\, javelina and deer – several hundred individual plants and creatures in all. Their imprint\, a ghostly shadow\, burned directly onto paper with light to make a permanent record. Never has it felt more imperative to make documents about diversity as we watch species disappearing at an alarming rate. \nWe now know without a doubt\, trees can communicate – silently share information using an underground network of fungal ‘mycelia’. It is a fanciful notion\, but seen together\, the botanical photograms seem to me like a kind of calligraphy\, all the beautiful shapes\, characters of an indecipherable plant language.” \nSince 1980\, Breakey’s work has appeared in more than 110 one-person exhibitions and in over 60 group exhibitions. A native of South Australia\, Kate moved to Austin\, Texas in 1988. She completed a Master of Fine Art degree at the University of Texas in 1991 where she also taught photography in the Department of Art and Art History until 1997. Her work is in the collections of: the Houston Museum of Fine Arts; The Center of Creative Photography\, The Australian National Gallery\, and the San Diego Museum of Photographic Arts\, as well as various private collections. Kate’s work is represented by Etherton Gallery\, Tucson\, AZ. \n  \n  URL:https://localyardandgarden.com/event/artist-talk-with-kate-breakey LOCATION:Tohono Chul – Exhibit House\, 7366 N.
