Club Demonstrations & Workshops
PBS brings in some of the top artists in the US to visit and share their knowledge with our members.
Demonstrations - Live demonstrations will provide insight that can not be gained from books or on-line videos. Demonstrations are FREE to Club members.
Workshops - there is nothing that replaces hands on experience with your tree. Several Workshops are offered throughout the year for ALL club members.
Learn from Club Members with our
Bonsai Buddy Program!
Existing members are a great source for local knowledge and members are more than willing to help.
To bonsai-newcomers the volume of information is daunting, but with the help of a mentor new practitioners can understand and apply techniques to the care of their own trees without feeling overwhelmed.
Club meetings provide an opportunity to meet other people in your area that will share the same interests and have intimate knowledge of our local climate and species to use specific for our area.
Meet with you Buddy on on one or meet with other members in a small group. The best way to learn is with help from others with a hands on approach!
“Joining a bonsai club may well be the single most important aspect of learning and improving.”
