The ACBS's
club penjing landscape is on
display
for the month of September
and
into the Fall season at
the Conservatory of the Miller
Nature Preserve in Avon, Ohio.
The Conservatory and Nature Preserve are part of the Lorain County
Metro Parks system,
and
is located in Avon, Ohio on Route 83 on 78 acres of wooded land,
according to the Nature Preserve's website.
The
ACBS's
landscape penjing is
made
up of seven separate tray plantings and is a
pool-table-sized
miniature
landscape
when
fully assembled. It was
designed and
coordinated by
ACBS member Carlton
Buck as
a club project in 2012.
Carlton, who has always been fascinated with Chinese tray plantings
or penjing, wanted to create a
project that included the collaboration or multiple club members.
Made up of seven tray sections, each
of
which was
planted
and maintained by a different club member. Sections
can also
be
displayed individually
or all seven can be
assembled
as
a expansive
and unified
landscape planting.
The penjing was first exhibited at the ACBS's June 2013 show case.
Carlton
shared the accompanying photos of the penjing, as exhibited in
Loraine.
The
Miller Nature Preserve is located at 2739
Center Road in
Avon,
Ohio.
The
conservatory is open 10 am to 6 pm daily, admission is $2.
