Monthly meetings

Our monthly meetings, scheduled on the second Sunday of the month, are open to the public with a program speaker, followed by a raffle and workshop tables for our members. Bring your trees and get advice and/or assistance with our trained and experienced members.

Our new permanent location is EcoGro Nursery, 657 W. St. Mary's Rd. Our meeting room is to the left of Ecogro's front door. Please park in the large dirt lot to the west (I-10 side) Join us for our monthly meeting, where you will always learn something valuable. Bring your trees for assistance in design, styling, trimming, or repotting. Enter the monthly raffle for a chance to win several bonsai-related items.

What to expect at the meetings:

Arrive early enough to sign in, get your name tag, join the society, and buy raffle tickets
Bring a plant you would like a mentor to help you with (shaping, potting, wiring)
At noon we begin announcements and show-and-tells from members with interesting things to share
A program is given by one of our members or guests relative to the season for the care of our trees.
We break for refreshments and raffle drawings (usually plants, pots, books, soils, or other surprises).
You can either work on your trees with a mentor or watch others with their trees being worked on by mentors (listen closely; you will learn lots of great new information), or you will just chat with other members. We are a very SOCIAL club and love meeting new members!
