My garage was taken over by tree huggers!

This weekend is the annual Japanese Festival at the St. Louis Botanical Garden. All things regarding Japanese culture are celebrated and the focal point are the Japanese Gardens. The St. Louis Bonsai Society, of which my wife is a member, is a big part of this festival. Bonsai, is the ancient art of growing and shaping trees in small scale. Pretty fascinating, really, and for those with a detailed-eye, like us, it is very aesthetically pleasing.



Anyway, the Bonsai Club invites a Bonsai Master to come to the Botanical Garden to put on lectures and demonstrations. The Master also came to my house where we hosted a club workshop in my garage. So the contrast between the organic-artwork of little trees contrasted quite sharply with my cars and car stuff. But everyone seemed to love it. It was definitely a different venue.



A good time was had by all. We talked trees AND cars. A perfect day. The Bonsai Master even said, (in very broken English) "I very much like your Porsche!" LOL! :)
