MABS Tree Selection @ Teaneck Greenhouse
300 Lindbergh Boulevard, Teaneck, NJ 07666
Even with the snow, we had a great meeting and were able to select the four bonsai trees and three artists that will represent our club at the Mid-Atlantic Bonsai Societies 2025 Annual Spring Festival in April:
Remember that the more members we have attending the show and the more volunteers we have at the event, the more funds that come back to our club, as proceeds are assigned on a participation basis for each club.
- Robert Entrekin: Japanese Black Pine Cascade
- Michael Humphrey: Snake Bark Elm and Olive Tree
- Bob Hunter: Japanese White Pine in Broken Branch Pottery

Lacebark Elm Forest Workshop with artist Bob Hunter
@ Teaneck Greenhouse
300 Lindbergh Boulevard, Teaneck, NJ 07666
Bob Hunter will guide us in creating an outstanding Lacebark Elm forest and will provide the pot and the Lacebark Elms. If you have a couple of small, collected rocks (about 2"-3",) be sure to bring them to the workshop, as they can be incorporated into the planting and make for a nicer scenery.
Additionally, you will need moss (how to video) not the thick hairy stuff the finer the moss the better. Registration is limited to only 8 participants, first come first serve, and you will have to pay $75 (exact change please) for this workshop. Be sure to bring your tools, soil, and wire.
Bob's work has been so popular that we filled this workshop right at our Annual Meeting, while Bob was showing us what he was going to do. Be sure to stay tune for future workshops and be fast at registering for them.
This workshop is fully booked.
