Mauro Stemberger at BSSJ!

Mauro Stemberger visited South Jersey this past wednesday, and performed his magic on a nice Rocky Mountain Juniper.
He explained many aspects of what he was doing, and answered many questions.
We had a great turnout...21 members and 4 guests!
here is a few of the photos taken.
