Save the Date – June 17 & 18, 2023

Valley Bonsai ­Society held its 12th Annual Bonsai Show at Alden Lane Nursery.

There were members specimens on display as well as live demos with finished pieces awarded to lucky ticket holders.

The Valley Bonsai Society was established to create a group for local Bonsai enthusiasts with all levels of expertise. The society meets at Alden Lane on the 3rd Saturday of every month.  Founded by Charles Harder several years ago, the society and has grown over several years. It now includes a diverse membership from beginners to established collectors. See the Valley Bonsai Society website for more information.


The secrets and techniques for creating and raising Bonsai trees were originated in China over a thousand years ago and perfected in Japan in the last 500 years. Today, Bonsai trees are found throughout the world and not just the Orient.

 

And no wonder, these exotic pieces of living art can be raised over a lifetime and no two are alike. Some bonsai specimens work indoors, most are at home outdoors. All make beautiful conversation pieces in the house, patio or even sophisticated professional offices.

Once the exclusive province of secretive oriental royal gardeners, today’s Bonsai trees are enjoyed by everyone from enthusiastic young gardeners to business executives.
