ANNUAL BONSAI DISPLAY

Every year, the Bonsai Society of Winnipeg displays our members’ trees. Everyone in the club is welcome to show their trees and plants, regardless on how long the trees have been trained as bonsai. Even trees from the most recent Introduction to Growing Bonsai course are accepted.

The slideshow above are trees and companion plants from the 2022 Exhibit. Photos by Scott Samson.

Our 2024 Show:

Saturday, August 24, from noon to 8pm

Sunday, August 25, from 11am to 5pm

Norwood Community Centre

87 Walmer Street, Winnipeg

Some of the trees on display are native to Manitoba and reflect the Canadian landscape. Others are exotic tropical species from far-off places such as the Caribbean, Southeast Asia, China, or India.

Most of the Club members have been creating these bonsai for only a few short years, and their trees are still young. A handful of the trees on display are really old; many even exceed 100 years! These venerable old treasures are Canadian trees collected from areas where the harsh environment has naturally stunted their growth. In all cases, whether young or old, purchased or collected, the tree’s proportions result from training that seeks to suggest stately, handsome, and old trees.

While it is fun to wonder about the actual age of a bonsai, it is the artistic expression of the trees that produces the profound bonsai experience.
