City of Grand Junction to modify River Park access on Monday
GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KREX) — The City of Grand Junction will be modifying the access to River Park at Las Colonias on Monday by placing large sandbags near the park's boat ramp. The sandbags will address the Colorado River water levels, which have been dropping over the past month, and provide a safeguard to four endangered fish species until the water levels increase. River Park will remain open during regular park hours, 5 a.m. to 10 p.m.; however, attendees will have a different experience during low water levels compared to when the channel has higher flows, according to the city. Residents can still access the water and beach areas during this time and into the fall while the sandbags are present. The River Park's federal permit, issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, requires the River Park channel to be cut from the main channel of the Colorado River when the river flows below 810 cubic feet per second to protect wildlife habitats. With the agreement that the city would follow federal permit requirements during low water levels, the River Park's construction was authorized by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The river park project was funded through $1.2 million in grants from organizations such as Great Outdoors Colorado, the Colorado Water Conservation Board and more. The project was made possible through partnerships with Bonsai, Colorado Mesa University, and the U.S. Department of Energy.

10 arty activities to do with kids this winter
The Japanese Garden in Palermo is a walk that combines nature, culture, and learning. Kids can participate in hands-on workshops like Ikebana (the art of Japanese floral arrangement), Origami (paper folding), Bonsai (tray cultivation), and Japanese painting with sumi-e and watercolor techniques. These experiences awaken creativity and offer a new way to connect with Japanese tradition in a serene environment surrounded by ponds with koi carp. Additionally, the Garden often offers live shows that fascinate both adults and children. Japanese drum performances (taiko) vibrate the atmosphere with powerful rhythms, and martial arts demonstrations teach about discipline, respect, and movement.

Celebrate 100 years of bonsai at Brooklyn Botanical Garden's beautiful new exhibition
This summer, it's all about big celebrations for little trees. Brooklyn Botanic Garden 's beloved bonsai collection turns 100—and the Garden is going all-out to honor one of the oldest and largest public bonsai displays outside Japan. From June 14 through October 19, the 'Bonsai 100' celebration will unfold with new exhibits, weekend tours, outdoor installations, workshops and even a bonsai-themed manga. 'Brooklyn Botanic Garden has been the proud caretaker of this remarkable bonsai collection for 100 years, fostering a practice that is equal parts horticulture, art, design and patience,' said Adrian Benepe, president of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. 'We are excited to see even more of these miniature trees—true works of art—displayed this year, including outdoors amid full-sized trees for a stunning comparison.' The C.V. Starr Bonsai Museum will showcase a rotating selection of these tiny marvels, including rarely seen specimens and the garden's smallest bonsai, while Magnolia Plaza will host seasonal outdoor displays. Among the headliners are a 500-year-old Rocky Mountain juniper, a Daimyo oak that cycles through four colors a year and a trident maple with roots dramatically hugging a rock. Inside the Conservatory Gallery, The Mountain, the Tree, and the Man by graphic novelist Misako Rocks! tells the story of a bonsai's life through playful manga-style panels. The exhibit also celebrates legendary curator Frank Okamura and includes a restored 1971 short film on his work. Weekend bonsai tours and live demos began on June 14, with monthly programming continuing through October. Fall workshops invite visitors to try their hand at the art form themselves. For those who prefer to admire with a drink in hand, Japanese-inspired fare awaits at Yellow Magnolia Café, along with a series of ticketed sake dinners in September. Shoppers can also head to Terrain for bonsai starter kits, planters and limited-edition totes featuring Okamura's illustrations. The celebration opened this weekend with expanded exhibits, live music and guided tours and all activities are free with Garden admission unless otherwise noted. Whether you're a seasoned collector or just bonsai-curious, this is the year to go small in a big way.

Bonsai Japanese Steakhouse in Jackson closing May 2025
JACKSON, Miss. (WJTV) – After more than 30 years, a Jackson restaurant will close its doors. Bonsai Japanese Steakhouse, located on Lakeland Drive, will close its doors in early May 2025. Major lighting upgrade for Clinton's Traceway Park progresses In the early '90s, we were just two naïve dreamers armed with secondhand restaurant equipment, an entrepreneurial spirit, a hope and a prayer. We had no idea of the wonderful future ahead of us. From those humble beginnings came a family—literally. Nearly every member of the Truong family and our extended relatives has worked behind the scenes at Bonsai, making it truly a family business. And all of you, our customers, became part of that family too. We've celebrated birthdays, anniversaries, proms, proposals, and countless moments together. We've watched your kids grow up. You've watched ours do the same. Tan came to America with the shirt on his back and hope for a better life. Together, we built something beautiful, something that gave back tenfold. Bonsai made it possible to reunite with family from Vietnam. It gave us roots. It gave us stories. It gave us lifelong friends. And now, with eight grandkids (and counting), it's time for a new chapter. This goodbye is bittersweet. We are eternally grateful to every employee and customer who has been part of our journey. It has truly been our honor to serve you and our community since 1993. From every dynamite roll to the last grain of rice on the floor, it's been the joy of a lifetime, along with plenty of blood, sweat, and happy tears! Thank you for being part of this American dream. Tan and Cheryl Truong, owners of Bonsai Japanese Steakhouse The owners said Bonsai II in Clinton will remain open. Close Thanks for signing up! Watch for us in your inbox.
