The Society

The BBS was founded in 1967.

The Society was formed by a small group of people who were interested in increasing their knowledge of and involvement with bonsai  (pronounced bone sigh).  They also wanted to "spread the word" about this ancient art form and attract and inform others who might share their interests.  The club now numbers more than 50 members - some of whom are nationally, and even internationally, known.

     The monthly meetings of the club usually involve an educational morning session and an optional (often at additional cost) afternoon workshop.

     The society exhibits examples of member's trees twice yearly.  The first show is in July at the Brandywine River Museum and the second is in November at Longwood Gardens.
