Meeting themes are established to demonstrate various aspects of seasonal bonsai care.

  • Meetings are generally held on the first Saturday of each month from 1:30 -4:30 pm at the New England Bonsai Gardens in Bellingham, MA.

  • Join our mailing list to receive updated meeting information.

  • We encourage members to work on healthy and vigorous trees at seasonally appropriate times; while we have a schedule for meetings they do not cover all of the timing of our trees.

  • Bring your own trees to work on or observe others.

  • Schedule and location may change, please check this page regularly or contact us to be added to our mailing list; we confirm meeting times/locations at least one week before the meeting.

COVID Update (2023) - Safety and health are our first priority. We will adjust our schedule and venue based on recommendations from health authorities or our host requirements.

We follow our venue's recommendations on health guidelines and may require face masks or social distancing.
Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns.
