A little bit about us

Nebraska Bonsai Society was founded in 2009 and is dedicated to advancing the art of bonsai throughout the state of Nebraska and surrounding areas. Our purpose is to promote and inspire enjoyment in the study of bonsai through practice, education and camaraderie. We offer a wide range of group classes designed for all levels of participants (click here to learn more). Additionally, as a member, you are entitled to use the club’s resources and materials.
