Each year, members get together to tour other members’ bonsai collections and gardens. The MBS annual bonsai garden tour is on Saturday, Aug 2nd with 3 gardens open to the membership from 10am to 1pm and a final stop at 1:30 (lunch at 2pm) pm at Cheryl Sykora’s garden for discussion and refreshments. Lunch is brats, hot dogs and potato salad. Pick up a ticket at each of the 3 locations to enter the drawing for prizes at the picnic.
