Come and learn about the art of bonsai. The show will include a display of exquisite miniature trees presented by Coastal Bonsai and introduce visitors to a variety of techniques and approaches. Following the ancient Japanese tradition, the trees are intended to replicate the character of old trees found in nature using trees or shrubs grown in containers. Find out more about the art of dwarfing and reshaping the gifts of nature into a living art object.

The Orange County Fuchsia Society will be displaying a wide variety of beautiful and unusual fuchsias during their annual show and sale at Sherman Library & Gardens.

In this talk, we will take a look at a number of other types of plants and trees that can be used to create bonsai from herbs (e.g. rosemary) to tropical flowering plants (ex. bougainvillea), from ornamentals (e.g. boxwood) to shade trees (e.g. oak and sycamore) to many others that can be found as close as in your yard or neighborhood!
