Mauro’s workshop on November 21th has been cancelled. COVID-19.

I have arranged a workshop day on November 21th for us. This will be free to all Members. You can bring 2-3 trees max. It will be from 10-6. Tom Duong has graciously accepted to come to help and critique your trees.
We will work on trees and each one can bring your tree up and Tom will help critique your tree for you.
