WELCOME TO THE YAMA KI BONSAI SOCIETY

 

The Yama Ki Bonsai Society was formed in 1973 by a group of individuals with a mutual interest in bonsai. Its purpose was to foster a forum for discussion and education on bonsai for people living in Westchester County, NY and Fairfield County, CT. Our name, Yama Ki, means "Mountain Tree."

Our programs throughout the year offer a variety of topics related to bonsai, including lectures, demonstrations, workshops, and other activities designed to help the novice as well as to appeal to the more experienced bonsai enthusiast. The group usually meets on the second Saturday or Sunday of the month. For venue locations and directions, click here.

Feel free to attend any meeting or outing listed in our club newsletter. Reading our newsletters is the best way to learn about bonsai and to get to know the people of Yama Ki and their plans for the year. See the last page of any newsletter (Aug 2012 or later) for President and Vice President phone and email information.

The Meetings & Events section below shows up-to-date details for upcoming meetings.
