2009 Bye Bye

2009 was a great year for Bonsai in Ahmedabad, because a group of 30 like minded people came together to form Ahmedabad Bonsai Club. And since then there is no looking back.

We have come a long way from where we where in 2009. Even bonsai basis materials like Tools, Wires, Pots & books were not available in Ahmadabad. But now they are easily available.

Between members, the club now has some 100+ Bonsai under training, which is expected to grow to 1000+ Trained Bonsai collection in next 5 years.

Some of the collection of Club members will be showcased in forthcoming Horticulture Exhibition scheduled at 12th - 15th Feb, 09. All are cordially invited.

Wishing you all a very happy & prosperous new year

ABC Monthly Meeting July 2009

Ahmedabad Bonsai Club next monthly meeting is scheduled for 25th July, 2009 at Ms. Jyoti Gade place at 29/1 Bimanagar, Nr. Rani Laxmibai, Satellite at 5.00 PM. All are cordially invited. Pl. bring along your plans for pruning, wiring, repotting as required.

Extended Summers & sparse monsoon has dampened the spirit of many Bonsai Lovers in Ahmedabad. So, let's take this opportunity to revive the enthusiasm and to do some great work. This is the right time to repot your plants or to buy new ones as nursery across Ahmedabad are flush with New Stocks.

Agenda:

On the forthcoming meeting, I propose to discuss Formal registration of Ahmedabad Bonsai Club, such that we can make consolidated efforts to promote Bonsai as a Hobby in and around Gujarat. If proposal is agreed upon, than I propose selection of Chairperson, Secretary, Treasurer for Ahmedabad Bonsai Club.

Ramesh Sinha, Ahmedabad Bonsai Club
