The Knoxville Bonsai Society was originally founded in 2002 by a handful of
enthusiasts in the East Tennessee area. Aiming to promote the art of Bonsai
throughout Tennessee and the Southeastern United States, the KBS holds
monthly meetings where members can share and exchange information and
expand their knowledge of bonsai in a friendly environment. Topics covered
at the meetings include all aspects of bonsai culture and design - from basic
techniques to seasonal care to wiring and display.
In order to provide its membership with more hands-on learning opportunities,
the Knoxville Bonsai Society also invites guest artists to conduct lectures and
workshops several times each year. Past speakers have included Bill
Valavanis, Warren Hill, and Arthur Joura. In addition, members are
encouraged to bring trees from their personal collections to the monthly
meetings for advice and critiquing.
To showcase the hard work of its members, the KBS hosts the Knoxville
Bonsai Show on the University of Tennessee Ag Campus each May. The best
bonsai from across Tennessee are displayed at this event for public enjoyment.
