The next General Society Meeting will be held Monday May 7th at the Regenstein Center at the Chicago Botanic Garden. Starting at 7:00PM, we'll be holding our annual repotting meeting. Bring trees ready to repot, or if you're done with repotting, bring your skills to share with others!
Note: There will be no Bonsai 101 to allow for more time for repotting.
More information available on our Meetings page.
See you there!
Less than two weeks away from the Spring Bonsai Exhibit, the Society is hard at work finalizing the plans for the exhibit to be held May 12 and 13th.
Visit us at the Chicago Botanic Garden for our exhibit focused on education about Bonsai. New to Bonsai? Take a workshop, or peruse the items for sale from our vendors. More details available on our May Exhibit page.
Our next Society General Meeting will be held at 7PM on April 2nd at the Chicago Botanic Garden.
At 7:00PM the meeting with start with a brief Bonsai 101 session on an overview of repotting. We'll then hold the general meeting starting around 7:30PM, covering Society Business, and then will have a presentation on stands from stand maker Austin Heitzman. Austin's work can be seen on his website.

With Spring just around the corner, and Bonsai season picking up steam, it's still hard to believe that just under two months from now, May 12/13th, will mark the 14th Annual May Bonsai Exhibit held at The Chicago Botanic Garden !
Mark your calendars for this popular event! Vendors from across the Midwest will be selling Bonsai-related wares. Bonsai workshops for those of all ages will help you cultivate a new interest, or build skills you haven't had prior.
And of course, trees will be shown in this non-judged show. Tree entries are open to all skill levels, regardless of residency or membership in the society.
Full details are available on our May Exhibit page. Look for further details as the event nears here on our Website, as well as on Facebook.
We hope to see you there!
