The program is free and open to the public.  The Society will offer a class on the following Saturday morning, “Basics of Bonsai for Beginners”.  Registrations will be taken for the class, and a payment of $40 will be required in advance.  The fee includes a study kit which will be available at registration, and a one-gallon nursery plant to be provided in the class.  This hands-on class will be held on Saturday morning, October 15,  9 a.m. until 1 p.m., at an eastside home, and taught by Society mentors.
