The Knoxville Bonsai Society was originally founded in 2002 by a small group of enthusiasts living in the Knoxville, Tennessee area. The organization functions as a study group aimed at promoting the knowledge and understanding of the art of bonsai. Each month, the members meet to discuss various aspects of bonsai culture and design. Typically, meetings are held on the second saturday of the month from 9:30am-noon (note: meeting locations vary).
Through a variety of lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on workshops, members are encouraged to develop their skills and understanding of classical bonsai design and culture. This knowledge is then applied to the creation and maintenance of high-quality bonsai within the membership. Each May, the KBS hosts the annual Knoxville Bonsai Show where members can display their work and talents to others in the community. |
