The Puget Sound Bonsai Association welcomed members of the Seattle Chinese Garden Society on June 22, 2009 to the Center for Urban Horticulture.
Robert Cho, a long-time supporter of SCGS, created a specimen penjing (Chinese for Bonsai), using traditional Chinese techniques. Jan Whitner, an SCGS board member and horticulturist, gave a short presentation on the Seattle Chinese Garden's plans and distributed Garden literature. The Garden will eventually display a collection of penjing in a dedicated courtyard and will have a nursery in which penjing are developed.
