New to Bonsai? Looking for a source of information and inspiration in Pittsburgh? You’ve found it with the Pittsburgh Bonsai Society. Visitors are welcome to sit in on a monthly member meeting before joining. During the meetings, members participate in tree workshops and learn from expert speakers during demonstrations. Other seasonal events include the annual spring show, the tree auction, and the summer picnic . Come down and find expert information on all aspects of bonsai, plus sources for trees and supplies. We even promise to have members’ trees at every meeting just to appreciate. Bring in your own tree for some care or styling advice.

The membership fee of $30 for individuals and $40 for families will get you on the mailing (or e-mailing list) of our monthly newsletter which is full of helpful information and current events, and allows you to participate in any club events. Most meetings are on the third Wednesday of the month (check the current schedule in the link above for alternate days), starting with March. We meet from 7:00 to 9:00 PM in Phipps Garden Center, 1059 Shady Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15232( not Phipps Conservatory, the glass building in Schenley Park). You can contact club president Dave Metzgar at 412-795-0800 for more information.
