A heartfelt thank you to Kevin Roberts for his outstanding Beginning Bonsai presentation at our meeting September 20th. Judging by the tremendous turnout, there was clearly a great deal of interest in learning more about the fascinating art of bonsai, and Kevin did not disappoint.

Kevin's presentation was both informative and entertaining, blending practical bonsai knowledge with a wonderful sense of humour that kept the audience engaged throughout the evening. Attendees especially appreciated how he tailored the information to Manitoba's unique growing conditions, offering valuable advice on overwintering native trees and introducing tropical species that can be successfully grown indoors year-round.

Whether participants were completely new to bonsai or already experienced plant enthusiasts, everyone came away with a greater appreciation for the artistry, patience, and connection to nature that bonsai provides. The many questions and enthusiastic conversations following the presentation were a testament to how much the audience enjoyed and learned from the evening.

Thank you, Kevin, for sharing your passion, expertise, and humour with us. Your presentation was both inspiring and enjoyable, and we are grateful for the time and effort you put into making it such a memorable evening.
