We had the pleasure of hosting Meijer Gardens horticulturist Ted Bentley as a guest panelist this past June at JAFAX 2025. For those who attended his inspirational panel on bonsai — & for those who didn’t — here’s a look at some of his amazing work. We hope to have Ted back for JAFAX 2026 next June!

Show of hands if you attended the Sumo 101 panels led by Grand Rapids Sumo! JAFAX was thrilled to have them present these panels (and participate in our scavenger hunt!). We look forward to having them back in 2026. 💙

Why is celebrity guest David Errigo, Jr. smiling? It might have to do with the pennant banner hanging on his booth table… or with the berry-topped vanilla cheesecake heading his way! 🎂 Thank you so much for sharing your birthday with us at JAFAX 2025! 💙

Our Kids’ Food Basket activity table drew in people eager to draw — and color — for a great cause! Look for this table next year, so you too can decorate a lunch bag to be used to distribute food to children in the Grand Rapids area! 💙

Our origami table was a huge hit at JAFAX 2025! There was always somebody there, creating something they knew or trying their hand at folding a crane for our collection. Thanks so much to all who stopped by and stayed a while! 💙
