May 7th meeting is Elle Nieto-Brodnick doing a demonstration on a shimpaku

Elle Nieto-Brodnick discovered her passion for bonsai appreciation and cultivation during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic while actively working in healthcare.

Her journey commenced with immersing herself in online videos and attending enlightening lectures, which eventually paved the way for her to participate in enriching workshops and classes conducted by esteemed individuals such as Andy Smith, Owen Reich,  Will Baddeley, Julian Tsai, and David Cutchin.
