The Bonsai Society of Portland (BSOP) will hold its annual Bonsai Exhibition at the Portland Japanese Garden on May 19 and 20, 2012. The show will include dozens of bonsai from members’ private collections, including some truly world-class material. The exhibition will present conifer, deciduous, fruiting, and flowering species, in sizes ranging from large three-feet-tall specimens to tiny shohin trees small enough to hold in the palm of your hand. In addition, displays with scrolls, stones, and accent plants will be on view, including a traditional Japanese tokonoma alcove display. There will also be live demonstrations throughout both days of the exhibition where visitors may ask questions and watch BSOP members at work.

This exhibition is underwritten in part by the James F. and Marion L. Miller Foundation.
