Bonsai Art Exhibition | Sept 20th–21st

Dozens of species of trees, some can be 100 years old, will be on display. Come and see the most beautiful bonsai compositions in the Ottawa-Gatineau area. The art of ‘Bon-sai’ involves using special techniques to grow dwarf trees in containers. Techniques used to display the most interesting characteristics of a tree, mimicking nature, in a miniature form will be demonstrated by senior Members of the Bonsai Society. Members will also be on hand to provide guidance and insight into the horticultural and artistic aspects of these miniature trees in pots demystifying the marvels of this ancient art form. Our society is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting interest and understanding in the art form of bonsai. We are pleased and honored to be guests of the Embassy of Japan for the opportunity to present this ancient art form to the public.
