Nebraska Bonsai Society is dedicated to advancing the art of bonsai throughout the state of Nebraska and surrounding areas. Our mission is to promote and inspire enjoyment in the study of bonsai through practice, education and camaraderie.
If you would like to become a member, please complete the member application. If you are unsure, feel free to stop by one of our meetings with no charge to meet us and get a flavor.
Regular Meetings
Our meetings generally occur on the third Sunday of each month from 1 – 5 pm, with locations alternating between Lincoln and Omaha. These typically begin with a seminar or demonstration and conclude with a Study Group. Our Study Group sessions offer members an informal hands-on approach to learning and practicing bonsai.
Exhibits & Events
Our showcase event is our Fall Exhibit in conjunction with the Japanese Ambience Festival at Lauritzen Gardens in Omaha, which provides members the opportunity to display their bonsai in a public forum. We also participate in a number of smaller shows & cultural events through out the year.
Workshops
For the beginner/novice level, we offer a low cost workshop each year, which provides students with a tree, pot and soil as well as hands-on instruction year round on how to properly care for and maintain the tree.
Featured Artists
In addition to our monthly meetings, we offer members at least two (material available) workshop opportunities each year and host at least one reputed bonsai artist for a weekend in Nebraska, which usually involves a demonstration, lecture and workshop.
