Virtual Bonsai-A-Thon 2021

The Golden State Bonsai Federation presents its annual Huntington Bonsai-A-Thon virtually this year (due to COVID restrictions). Ted Matson, curator of the bonsai collection at The Huntington, hosts video tours of the bonsai courts, the Ben Oki Bonsai Nursery, and the "Lifelines/Timelines" bonsai exhibition. Phillip E. Bloom, the June and Simon K.C. Li Curator of the Chinese Garden and Director of the Center for East Asian Garden Studies, introduces the garden's new penjing court and discusses the history of this art form. Both sessions include time for questions from audience members.
