ZOOM ON SABA
from Andre Swart
During the Covid pandemic, we have put in significant effort to maintain connections with Bonsai enthusiasts across the country. My mission has been to keep this fascinating art alive among its practitioners via the Zoom platform. With the financial support of the Kat Rivier Kai Bonsai Club, we contribute to the dissemination of Bonsai knowledge on a monthly basis through talks and educational demonstrations aimed at the entire Bonsai community.
We share our individual experiences and engage in constructive discussions with like-minded individuals, not only from South Africa but also from abroad. The forum is dedicated to practicing Bonsai as an art form and learning about the growing requirements and maintenance of various species and styles. Here, you can ask burning questions or seek critiques of your prized Bonsai from masters across the country.
Through this exposure, we can all learn and celebrate the beauty and tradition of Bonsai, strengthening interpersonal ties and promoting this Japanese art within an African context. Your fellow Bonsai enthusiasts will greatly appreciate your interest and participation.
