Feature Presentation

Bonsai Winnipeg Peer Group Analysis


We’re excited to reprise the Peer Group Analysis to help you and your trees reach new heights! This is a unique opportunity to showcase your bonsai and receive constructive feedback in a supportive, collaborative environment. Here’s why you should participate:


1. Learn and Grow Together

Sharing your tree for analysis creates a learning experience for everyone. Your bonsai may highlight techniques, challenges, or solutions that inspire others, while the feedback you receive could open new doors to refine your tree’s design.


2. A Safe and Supportive Space

We understand that sharing your work can feel intimidating, especially if you’re new or unsure about your skills. Remember, every expert was once a beginner. Our club is built on mutual respect and encouragement, and this analysis is designed to nurture growth—not criticism.


3. Fresh Perspectives, New Ideas

Sometimes, we’re too close to our work to see its potential. A fresh set of eyes can reveal design possibilities you hadn’t considered, helping you unlock the hidden beauty of your tree.


4. Inspire and Be Inspired

By participating, you contribute to a collective learning experience. Your tree, regardless of its stage of development, can inspire others. Imagine the impact your tree might have on someone else’s journey!


5. No Tree is ‘Too Small’ or ‘Not Ready’

Whether your bonsai is a decades-old masterpiece or a tree just beginning its journey, it has value. Sharing its story and current state is part of the art and the joy of bonsai.


How to Participate

Browse the galleries below and send us a screenshot or description of your tree by December 31, 2025. Include any questions or areas you’d like feedback on, and we’ll take it from there. Email your images and questions to Scott.
