The Memphis Bonsai Society is dedicated to the study, promotion and practice of the ancient art of Bonsai (Bone-Sigh: Japanese for "Tree in a Tray") and the exchange of information among the members and community in the care, cultivation, propagation, design, survival and protection of the trees.  It shall also serve as a source of information for and a link between the bonsai community, the media and the general public. We invite anyone with any interest whatsoever in this restful and rewarding endeavor to attend a meeting to learn more about this ancient art.  Meetings are usually held on the 4th Tuesday of the Month (July and August excluded) at the Memphis Botanic Garden at 7 PM.

Our meetings generally host a demonstration artist and / or workshop. In years past we have had the pleasure of experiencing such great bonsai artists as: Jim Doyle, Chase Rosade, Randy Clark, and Kathy Shaner.  What an experience it was to be able to watch as they work their magic before our very eyes.

You do not need to be a member to attend our monthly meetings, but as a member of the Memphis Bonsai Society you are entitled to special workshops and discounts. Not only do the discounts pertain to events, but on certain purchases from such places as Brussel's Bonsai Nursery.

As a member you have your very own library of experience -- all our members knowledge and experience at your fingertips.

 So come to a meeting or two.  Meet our members.  We think that you'll want to join us. The minimal annual dues that we collect are used to pay for our operating expenses such as this website.
