Keith Scott

Keith Scott has devoted most of his life-time to the study and teaching of bonsai. A retired English teacher and adjunct professor of English at Youngstown State University, Keith brings an extensive treasure trove of bonsai knowledge and trivia with the skill of an accomplished wordsmith. He has contributed numerous articles published in International Bonsai Magazine and the Journal of Bonsai Clubs International.

Keith is a past president and convention chairman of Bonsai Club International, former bonsai curator for the Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Garden, Pittsburg, Pa, lectured and has given bonsai workshops throughout the United States. He has studied with many bonsai masters in the US and Japan, including Yuji Yoshimura, Frank Okamura, John Naka, Toshio Nakamura, Tom Yamamoto, and Toshio Saburumaru.

His lectures and workshops are a must; but be prepared for a non stop learning experience as they include information under his workshop manual titled, "What the Books Didn't Tell Us". Who knows, you could be part of Keith's work in progress, "Confessions of an Itinerate Bonsai Man". Note taking is advised.
