BSA Notes March 2013



BSA Notes March 2013
By Jane Hebert, BSA Editor
The Bonsai Society of Acadiana (BSA) will meet on Wednesday March 6th at 7:00pm. BSA meets on the First Wednesday of each month at the Ira Nelson Horticulture Bldg., 2206 Johnston Street, Lafayette, LA.
NEW BUSINESS - Annual membership dues are due and being collected for all active BSA Members. Dues are $20.00 for Individuals or $30.00 for family.
                As BSA will be hosting LABS this year, we are asking for BSA Members input and opinions on dates and locations.

RECENT NEWS Following a short business meeting, BSA Members had a re-potting workshop which is an annual event at the February meeting. BSA President Boyd Snellgrove repotted a Maple which was collected in 2010, BSA Member Dario Billiot potted a Japanese Boxwood, BSA Director Johnny Hardcastle repotted 2 mames, a Saunders boxwood and Seiju elm, while BSA Member Dottie Burleigh pruned her Brazilian raintree and an elm.  We also welcomed 2 members of the Abbeville Garden Club.

We would like to say Thank You to BSA Members Debbie and Bruce Broussard for providing the burgers and King cake at the February meeting.
