Organizing a Show
Great exhibits are much more than decoration, they tell a tree's story and build relationships with the community. Our plan is to continue a tradition of fine bonsai exhibits. Learn more about shows and join a team that leads the design and set-up of a classy bonsai exhibit.
Showing Trees
We have several shows throughout the year, all members are encouraged to participate at their level. You may just win a best of show or People's Choice. The real thrill is seeing how your work exhibits and shows to viewers, will they see something in it you have not yet seen.
Greeting the public
Opportunities to really view and learn about trees includes spending time behind the lines greeting the public and answering questions about bonsai and specific trees. Enjoy the company of fellow greeters and accolades from the viewers. Volunteer to tree sit!
Set up Tear down
Making quick work of getting things up and tearing down requires a lot of help. Grab your friends, make new friends set-up or tear-down of an exhibit, demonstration, workshop or meeting.
Bonsai Host/Docent
Serve as a Bonsai Host/Docent at the Bonsai collection by greeting and informing visitors on weekends and Wednesdays. Secure the safety of the trees and work with the collection curator by doing some hands-on work maintaining the bonsai garden and landscaping as well as participating in basic bonsai maintenance.
