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. 💙
