BONSAI, A GROWING ART
IN MANITOBA
There are many excellent sources for learning about bonsai, but if you
live on the Canadian prairies, this web site is designed to help you
learn to deal with the local climate conditions, so you too can grow
bonsai successfully.
Bonsai, a Japanese word pronounced bone-sigh, translates
literally as bon (a tray or pot) and sai (a
tree or planting). A tree in a pot! But not just any tree, and not just
any pot! See bonsai basics.
Bonsai is the name of an art form. Design principles
and sound horticultural practices are used to create small trees. These
miniature trees, ranging in height from four inches to about four feet,
are trained in shallow pots.The object is to create the appearance, expression
and even the feeling of a tree in a natural environment, true to scale
with a tree in nature.
Our New Meeting Space
Centro Caboto Centre

Bonsai Winnipeg is pleased to announce our new meeting space at the Centro Caboto Centre. This facility is less than ten years old and offers us a place where our club can grow.
Every area is accessible to wheelchairs. Exterior ramps mean we can use dollies to cart our gear in and out.
The bar/cafe is open till 11 PM every night. The perfect place for after meeting gatherings.
Our meeting space is two adjoining classrooms with lots of daylight. The space is ideal for presentations, lectures and workshops.
Our traditional meeting dates of the second Monday of the month has now been changed to the second Tuesday of the month and we have added a June meeting to our year's activities. See Schedule of Meetings for dates from September 2011 to June 2012.
