About Us
Club Mission
Our mission is to promote the practice and art of bonsai tree care through an exchange of experience and knowledge at meetings and workshops.
Meetings
Meetings are typically at 7:00 PM on the 1st Wednesday of each month, February to December at the College of DuPage (COD), Glen Ellyn, IL. See News & Events for specific room locations. Visitors are welcome. There is at least one presentation or demonstration at each meeting, often from visiting Bonsai masters. Demonstration trees are raffled at the meeting.
