A member of the Baltimore Bonsai Club since 1989, my interest in bonsai dates back to childhood visits to Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania. During graduate school at Penn State University, my initial attempt at bonsai was thwarted by the theft of all my containers and trees. I waited until coming to Baltimore in 1979 to begin again in earnest.
