What the society offers

Monthly meetings

The society meets on the third Tuesday of each month, starting at 7:00 PM. Each meeting presents a program, such as a demonstration, lecture or hands-on session, followed by time for questions and discussion.

Workshops

Through the year the society offers hands-on workshops on styling, wiring, repotting and care. Workshops are separate events, each with its own fee.

Exhibitions

The society presents members' trees at public exhibitions, where visitors can see bonsai up close and speak with the people who grow them.
