Pinus thunbergii  - Japanese Black Pine is a foundational species in the practice of Bonsai.  In this workshop you will learn the fundamentals of this double flush conifer with an emphasis on decandling for future development. This workshop includes your own black pine. 

One of the many things that your Bonsai Society is involved with is the bonsai collection in the John Carroll Bonsai Gallery at the Krohn Conservatory.  Several of us maintain the collection weekly and answer questions of the guests about bonsai year-round.

60th Anniversary Clothing Now Available in the Shop!

First Saturday free meet-ups at the Krohn Conservatory are now open.  Members meet at the Krohn to work on their own trees while chatting with other members and enjoying a few hours dedicated to your own trees.

You will need to bring a table cloth as well as your tree(s), tools, and supplies you will need when working on them.  Note that there will be no meet-up the first Saturday in March.
