The
Willamette Valley Bonsai Society is a group of Bonsai enthusiasts who started
a club in order to assist each other and enjoy the beautiful art of Bonsai. Activities

of creating and caring for bonsai including advice on our own trees and
propagation methods.
• Member presentations to provide information on the design and horticultural
aspects of different species, e.g. tree of the month presentations.
• Member hands-on work sessions to assist each other in repot and design.
• Plan extra activities for members to increase and share knowledge of bonsai
such as plant digs, nursery ventures, slab making, visits to bonsai
conventions and gardens.

by participating in fairs, exhibitions, conventions and other educational
displays for members and non-members alike.
