Together with the Potomac Bonsai Association (PBA), the U.S. National Arboretum is honoring World Bonsai Day on May 11th with a weekend festival celebrating the art of bonsai. A juried exhibit of PBA bonsai will be on view in the Museum’s Exhibits Gallery. Aspiring and longtime bonsai artists will find everything they need and more from vendors selling bonsai, pre-bonsai, pots, accents, and supplies. The weekend includes free demonstrations, children’s activities, and docent-led tours of the Museum. Beginner bonsai workshops will be offered throughout the day on Saturday and Sunday. The $75 fee for the workshop includes everything you need to get started, including a tree. Advanced registration for the workshop is strongly recommended but not required.
