NOTICE: This meeting has been moved from the auditorium to Room 125. Join us to talk about spruces and firs, and watch a live demo from Jaime of Ranni Bonsai. Jaime Whitton is a bonsai artist focused on native conifers, expressive design, and strong horticultural foundations. They began working in bonsai in 2023, providing in-home maintenance services, and in 2024 began teaching beginner classes in private and group settings, grounding their instruction in sound horticultural practice and the natural growth habits of each tree. Through interviews and educational content on their YouTube channel, Ranni Bonsai, Jaime highlights voices across the bonsai community while making the art more accessible to learners at all levels. After relocating to Michigan, they founded Open Grove Bonsai to share their love of bonsai with the public. Follow @opengrovebonsai on Instagram to stay connected.
