WABI-KUSA SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP
Leon is offering one of his Aquatic Plant Special Interest Group (SIG) presentations immediately after the doors open at 6:30PM for our meeting on 4 August. In about 30 minutes he will demonstrate how to create a mostly dry, aquatic plant arrangement -- called a WABI-KUSA (roughly "wild earth"). The demonstration will be a step-by-step show of the materials required and his simple technique for making the decorative, planted "mud ball". Ask questions as he goes through the demo. Included in the SIG will be a printed handout outlining the materials, steps to create the arrangement, and possible sources of materials. Additionally, SFAS will provide an attendance gift to the first 12 people who arrive and are seated for the demonstration. The gift includes everything needed to create your own WABI-KUSA arrangement at home - except the plants and your decorative container. Join Leon for this SIG and discover a simple way to create a small, decorative aquatic plant arrangement surely to impress even your non-aquarium hobbyist friends.
