The Midwest Bonsai Society's goal is the promotion of
bonsai in general, and specifically the cultivation of a
growing public awareness of bonsai as a living art.
To further this goal, the Society holds monthly meetings at
7:30pm on the first Monday of the month at the Chicago
Botanic Garden in Glencoe, IL. Prior to each meeting
(7:00pm) on most months there is a Bonsai 101 course where
beginner bonsai topics are discussed. The Society also
hosts two shows annually, one in May and one in August;
these shows are some of the top shows in the nation.
Centered around the bonsai courtyards at the Chicago
Botanic Garden, they include demonstrations, workshops,
national vendors, a banquet and individual member trees on
display.
