MBS

Meetings and Demonstrations

In order to expose members to a variety of styling approaches and perspectives, MBS strives to bring in major bonsai talent for demonstrations and panel discussions. We enjoy world class artists demonstrating the latest trends in Bonsai. Monthly meetings also brings us together to enjoy the company of fellow enthusiests.

Exhibits and Shows

MBS sponsors two major shows each year along with several smaller shows. During the Wisconsin State Fair in August, the Horticulture Building is home to our largest judged show, and our Annual Exhibit is a three day affair showcasing our member's best trees. MBS also sponsors booths at garden shows, the Folk Fair and a Silhouette show. Ribbons and plaques aside, one of the greatest rewards of the shows is the public response.

Classes and Workshops

Classes and Workshops at all levels are available for MBS members. Novice classes and beginner workshops are tailored to the new bonsai enthusiast and general public. Intermediate classes and workshops are designed to share skills and knowledge of our own MBS members. Advanced classes and workshops are the highlight of our instructional program. These artists, who have national and international reputations for excellence, teach their own creative styling and horticultural techniques.
