D&L NURSERY
ANNUAL CUSTOMER APPRECIATION DAY
MAY 2, 2026
Mark it on your calendar now, May 2 nd . We have always held your Customer Appreciation Day on the second Saturday of May, which is World Bonsai Day.
Unfortunately, it is also Mother’s Day Weekend which has kept some folks from attending. Totally understandable, Mommas comes first. So, this year we are starting a new tradition. From now on we will be holding Customer Appreciation Day on the first Saturday in May. We will still consider it our World Bonsai Day. I mean why not? Customer Appreciation Day is your day and World Bonsai Day has always been a part of your day. Another reason is that May starts our rainy season along with warmer temperatures so week one way or the other can make a big difference.
We’re also doing something else a little different this year; going to have a theme called, “My Bonsai Journey.” Bonsai, like other art forms, can be very inspirational, not just for
ourselves but for those who see your trees. Our speakers will range from folks who have been doing bonsai for many years to those just starting their journey. We will hear stories of what inspired them to start their bonsai journey and how creating a tree makes them feel. They will discuss their very first tree and if they still have it, will show it and share the journey they both have been on.
It is said that a tree will tell the story of its life. The person who created it will also be telling the story of their life through the tree.
We will have an expanded exhibit area so all of you can bring your most inspired trees and share them along with your stories. So put the date on your calendar and let’s get together to share our bonsai journeys.
