Growing and Displaying With Moss for Bonsai by Kevin Faris (CBS Lecture) - Bonsai Time Podcast Ep49

In Vivo Bonsai Announcements/Upcoming Events in Columbus

• September 6, 1-4pm - Japanese Black Pine from Seed Workshop @ Franklin Park Conservatory (hosted by me!)
• All participants get seeds and some 1-2 year old seedlings, and if interested in a higher tier, an older 4-5 year old seedling is also included. We will explain how seedlings are styled over multiple years so you can see the whole process in one session. Sign up here
• In the last month, I added many of the tools and supplies I have to my Etsy store. Check them out at invivobonsai.etsy.com but generally, if you contact me directly, I can give you a discount from what is listed there. Each listing comes with free US shipping.
• I also recently added a number of bonsai pots from Kevin Faris to my website here. Check them out and let me know if any are of interest to you; we are in the process of pricing them and will eventually add those to my Etsy store as well. Free delivery to the US National Bonsai Exhibit next month is available or local pickup in Columbus, OH.

I. Episode Summary & Links

            In this episode, catch up on what's new with Ryan, Kevin, and Kelly with our new intro segments "What's Growing On" and "Bonsai Bulletin."             Then ~4:01, dive into a talk on how and why to grow or display moss with your bonsai, including its beneficial effects on horticulture and aesthetics. Kevin Faris was the presenting artist for this recorded Columbus Bonsai Society meeting. We hope you learn something new and can share this with those you know who are planning to display their first show tree sometime.
