About the Club

The Bonsai Society of Greater St. Louis was established by a small group of bonsai hobbyists to promote the knowledge, interest, and enjoyment of bonsai and other living plants. The Organization gathers to educate and make available information on the history and culture of bonsai. We are governed by a Board of Directors who encourage the members to collect and exhibit bonsai. We are dedicated to assisting its members and public in the preparation and care of bonsai. The members are encouraged to communicate with fellow bonsai enthusiasts throughout the world and exchange ideas, techniques and experiences. If the world of bonsai intrigues you and sparks the imagination, please consider becoming a member of our welcoming organization.

Meetings

Meetings are the first Tuesday of the month (7pm) and are typically (during non-pandemic times) located at the Commerce Bank Education Center (CBEC) of the Missouri Botanical Garden. CBEC is located at the corner of Shaw and Kingshighway. Meetings are for educational purposes to further the hobby of bonsai and are open to the general public. For more information, see our Meeting Page

Membership is required to participate in club sponsored workshops and events, including our annual club auction. The club works diligently to keep dues as affordable as possible with all money collected going directly to bonsai-related education and events. Current dues are $20 for an individual and $25 for a household membership. Paid dues provide membership though the end of the calendar year in which they are paid.
