Hollywood Garden Club Meeting Minutes, November 13, 2019
Nan and Doug Unkenholz opened their beautiful Bonita Drive home Wednesday night for some fun Garden Club socializing and an introduction to the art of bonsai presented by Doug. Dozens of Doug’s gorgeous bonsai specimens were on display for members to marvel at. Doug emphasized that bonsai is an art and it does not necessitate a particular varietal of tree. These are also outdoor trees and should not just be indoor decor. Thank you, Nan and Doug, for your hospitality and a fascinating program!!
