a Bonsai Curator for the Pacific Bonsai Museum

The Pacific Bonsai Museum is located in Washington State, about 25 miles
south of the city of Seattle. We are regarded as being in the top tier of bonsai
collections in North America. At the end of 2013, the collection was gifted
by the Weyerhaeuser Company to create the newly formed Pacific Bonsai
Museum. We are hiring two leadership positions for the Museum.
We are seeking the Museum’s inaugural Executive Director. Reporting to
our Board of Directors, the Executive Director will have overall strategic,
operational and fundraising responsibility for the museum’s staff, programs,
expansion, and execution of our mission. We have a goal of hiring in the
Summer of 2014.
Our long-term Curator is also retiring and we are beginning the search for a Bonsai Curator targeted
to be hired in Fall 2014. The Curator will lead a team of gardeners to maintain the health and artistic
integrity of the collection providing all aspects of culture necessary for bonsai.

Tree Power. A bonsai tree that charges your gadgets.

By Joe Grande, Canada
Complete your bonsai collection
with Electree mini, a modern sculp-
ture imitating a potted plant, the leaves
of which are small photovoltaic panels.
Inspired by bonsai trees and fractal
patterns found in nature, Electree mini
provides solar-derived power to envi-
ronments typically void of renewable
energy.
Leaves can be oriented towards sun-
light to optimize exposure. Except for
the American solar cells, it’s entirely made in France. Electree Mini re-
charges three AA or AAA batteries to store energy.
It also has clip-in modules that turn it into a color changing light and
USB device charging station.
Vivien Muller, a young french designer developed the Electree. He had
the first idea about the Electree mini in 2007, shortly after his graduation
in design. One year later, in order to find a job he decided to illustrate this
concept and put it on the Internet. He did not expect such an enthusiasm
for this product. Many journalist contacted him and demand was big.
After years of work, the Electree mini is available from https://www.
indiegogo.com/projects/electree-mini.
