In addition to our monthly meetings, the Club holds one or two annual shows. We always enjoy a chance to share our trees with one another and to introduce the public to the art we love.

Our monthly meetings are always a learning experience – working on trees, enjoying demonstrations and presentations by bonsai artists or stone appreciation experts such as Chiara Padrini (Italy) and Kathy Coffman (US).

Occasionally we hold workshops conducted by internationally-acclaimed artists.

Added to these have been workshops and demonstrations by local artists such as Kelley Adkins, Ken Huth, Dale Harder and Steve Ziebarth.

Meetings are generally held the fourth Saturday of every month at the Rockefeller Park Greenhouse, from 9:30am to noon.
