The Bonsai Society of the Carolinas provides monthly educational programs in Charlotte, NC to promote the interest in the ancient art of bonsai. Each program is designed around some general topic or area of interest. Some programs given are strictly lectures, but most are hands-on workshops where the student is given some instructional information followed by the chance to practice what has been learned. The society hosts both local and nationally known bonsai artists, with at least one nationally recognized artist each year. Programs are provided for both the beginner and advanced bonsai student. There are fees for some programs. The public is always invited. You do not have to be a member to attend our programs, but if you are seriously interested you will want to join us on our journey.
Learning the art of bonsai begins with a few simple steps but can carry the student into a lifetime of enjoyment. In Japan it is not uncommon to have the same bonsai in the family for many generations. Each year these trees take on new growth and new forms of pleasure.
