Workshops and Meetings
UPDATE
We will be resuming in-person meetings starting in July.
In-Person Club Meetings
We meet at 7:30pm on the first and third Thursdays of each month. All are cordially invited to attend our meetings and activities.
Club meetings feature a mix of talented lecturers/demonstrators with hands-on learning activities to further our knowledge and understanding of bonsai techniques and procedures. The club sponsors workshops conducted by Bonsai Masters as well as beginner classes and study groups led by highly trained teachers. Whether you are a novice or an experienced bonsai enthusiast, Midori will help expand your appreciation, skills and overall knowledge of “the wonderful world of miniature trees.”
You need no prior gardening experience or a “green thumb” to become proficient in the art of bonsai. As a member we request that you contribute some time and energy in support of club activities and participate in the Annual Show and two fundraising auctions held annually in June and December. Only through the active support of our members can we continue to provide top quality Bonsai Masters and instructors for our monthly programs, classes and workshops.
Club Dues
If you become interested in joining, our annual membership dues (Jan through Dec) are $40.00 per single and $50.00 per couple or family, plus $15.00 per person to cover the cost of a nametag. Dues are reduced by 50% after July 1.
If you have always thought that bonsai is an interesting art form, come join us and experience it first-hand. We would like to see you at our next meeting. If you are interested in joining the club please fill out out the membership form.
