Bonsai Show

Saturday, November 8th 9am-5pm and Sunday, November 9th 9am-4:00pm

Members of the Iowa Bonsai Association will be displaying unique specimens from their own collections and answering questions from the public. Join the Iowa Bonsai Association and their invited guest, the Eastern Iowa Bonsai Association at Reiman Gardens as we showcase the art and horticulture of Bonsai.

Bonsai involves the cultivation and artistic shaping of trees, creating a miniature version of a full-sized tree through careful pruning, wiring, and training.

The object is to create a harmonious and balanced bonsai as a living piece of art that can be viewed in every season. This year’s theme “Bonsai: Asia to America” showcases deciduous, conifer and tropical trees as the growing season comes to an end and dormancy begins.

**What to expect at the show: **

The Iowa Bonsai Association will showcase some of Midwest’s’ finest bonsai. You will also find bonsai and bonsai related items for sale from a vendor and the IBA bazaar sales table.

IBA members will be available as docents to guide and answer questions regarding bonsai.

Saturday, November 8th. 1:00-3:00p.m. There will be a formal demonstration in the auditorium. Four IBA members and a moderator will focus on seasonal work.

Sunday, November 9th. 1:00-3:00p.m. IBA members will have informal demonstrations in the show area.

Pre-registration is not required. Free for Reiman Gardens members and ISU Students. Cost of admission for everyone else.
