This required a complete understanding of horticulture (UGA ‘06) and direct interaction with Japan’s native species. \nCentral Japan is very much like the southeastern United States\, so after building and managing Samara Farms LLC he spent three years of apprenticeship at Fujikawa Kouka-en in Osaka\, Japan. \nOwen learned how to care for multi-generational bonsai of all species\, instead of focusing on conifers only. \nUnderstanding the 3-5 year rhythms of deciduous trees commonly used for bonsai in Central Japan was primary interest for studying deciduous species and kusamono\, with three years of styling time on tons of conifers. \nExhibition preparation and container / stand harmony is a big part of Kouka-en’s specialty\, so Owen’s approach to exhibitions is largely focused on overall display harmony and allusions to the current and upcoming seasons. \nOwen’s current focus is on deciduous and broadleaf evergreen species of all kinds\, especially those native to the eastern half of the United States of America\, utilizing these for bonsai is likely the future of introductory bonsai training. \nCurrent habitat restoration and design / build project is Bask Retreat Center in Centerville\, Tennessee. A Japanese inspired moss garden with all native species and their cultivars will be proof of concept for expansion of this garden style. \n\nBonsai Weekend Vendors \nIn Vivo Bonsai\, Green Witch Gardens\, Asian Artique\, Clayfoot Pottery\, Twisted Nature Bonsai\, Pottery Cat Designs Studio\, Hagabon\, Myrick Bonsai Pottery \n\n \n***photography used with permission by Clayton Communications.
