SCHEDULED SYMPOSIUMS

All meetings and symposiums will be conducted at the hotel except the two Saturday afternoon symposiums which will be conducted at the Arboretum.

The first Saturday afternoon symposium will show how to grow Mum Bonsai. Mum Bonsai is a hobby that is open to everybody. Bonsai can be grown very easily wherever there is adequate sun, even on a condo balcony! Come and listen to the technique of growing this ancient art form. In addition, “Miniatures,” a new art form, will be discussed. Miniatures do not follow a rigid Bonsai form. Individual designs are limited only by your imagination.

The second symposium will discuss how to interest school-age students in the growing of mums. This is not merely a hypothetical discussion. It is actually being accomplished under the direction of the North Carolina Chrysanthemum Society. This symposium will be led by one of the school teachers as well as a member of the North Carolina Chrysanthemum Society. They will tell us how to get started in this very worthwhile endeavor. So far eight local schools are involved with this program.
