The Bonsai Society of Portland\, the largest bonsai club in the United States\,last exhibited at the garden in 2018.Bonsai\, which literally translates to “tree-in-a-tray\,” is the art and science of miniature trees.Literal translation aside\, “bonsai” has evolved to mean an artistically shaped woody plant that is intended to suggest the image of a mature tree in nature. The creation of a miniaturizedlandscape fulfills the human yearning for a connection to nature in the smallest of spaces.\n\n\n\nThis exhibition will include dozens of bonsai from BSOP members’ private collections\, including several world-class examples of this ancient Japanese art form. Guests will see coniferous\, deciduous\, fruiting\, and flowering species\, ranging in size from three-foot-tall specimens to tiny shohin trees small enough to hold in the palm of your hand.\n\n\n\nScenes from the Bonsai Society of Portland 2018 exhibition.
