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.
