The Long Island Bonsai Society
There are no borders in Bonsai. It brings peace to a palace as it does to the most humble of homes, to the young as to the old, to the rich as to the poor.
It invites us to live within the world it is onto itself, and we are drawn, as no words can express, to live within its shade.
The Long Island Bonsai Society invites all to enjoy this living art that can last for generations.

Will Baddeley demonstration
Will is a self taught bonsai artist from the UK with over twenty years experience. His main influences are Colin Lewis and his passion for natives and Kevin Wilson's work with wild material incorporating deadwood work using power tools.
His main interest in Bonsai is working with native European tree species and also in creating natural looking deadwood on deciduous trees with the use of power tools and scalpels.
