36th
Annual Mid-America Bonsai Exhibit
August 16 - 18, 2013
Our August show is our show with the longest history, going
into year 36 in 2013. It is one of the biggest regional
shows in the nation. Centered on the Chicago Botanic
Garden's Permanent Collection, featuring almost 50
world-class trees, it’s a showplace of trees from across
the midwest. Enthusiasts from five states bring their trees
to be judged in the main hall at the Garden's Regenstein
Center - with this year's Guest Master Bjorn Bjorholm.
There are no residency or membership restrictions for
entering the show - any tree that can make it to Chicago is
welcome to be entered. Click

you can fill out in advance and bring with your tree.
Along with this fabulous display of regional talent, there
are over a dozen national vendors, workshops, free
demonstrations, and a banquet with a silent auction.
