The Long Island Bonsai Society
There are no borders in Bonsai. It brings peace to a palace as it does to the most humbles 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 it's shade.
The Long Island Bonsai Society invites to enjoy this living art that can last for generations.

CARONAVIRUS UPDATE
Dear Long Island Bonsai Society Members and Guests,
Hope all are well and following safe behaviors to protect you and your family during and after the Pandemic event.
Planting Fields is complying with State regulatory actions taken in response to the Corona Virus which we support.
As such, no facilities are open there to the end of April. They have canceled the “Arbor Day Event”. These restrictions may be extended into May and June.
Currently we must cancel our regular Monday meeting (APR 13th), Postpone the Bob Mahler Workshop (APR 18th) to a later date to be determined and potentially outdoors.
The issues that surfaced as a result of the pandemic have hopefully made the public aware of the need for ongoing controls and considerations. As such, we are challenged to address our operations and evolve as a club.
We will be exploring the technologies available to facilitate Tele-Demonstrations and Tele-Meetings. Currently we are considering several options and will let you know soon.
Thank you for your patience and support. Best of health to all.
Aseptically yours,
Hal Johnson
President,
