“May” your trees be flourishing! Our 50 th Anniversary Regional Show is just 3 weeks away… NBS Members need to get their information and pictures to me for the trees they are going to enter in our show. Originally, I put out (20) tree displays from NBS Members. Since I am not getting the numbers I need from the other participating clubs, I am asking for (40+) trees from our club.
– Sara Hopson, NBS President
Saturday–Sunday, May 17–18
📍 The Frist Art Museum – Downtown Nashville
A milestone celebration of bonsai in Tennessee! Featuring tree displays, vendors, workshops, demos, auctions, and more.
🪴 Tree Entry Reminder
NBS Members—submit your tree photos and entry info to Sara ASAP.
We now need 40+ trees from NBS members due to low turnout from other clubs.
🌱 New & Novice Members:
2–3 tables will be reserved for you! These trees won't be judged but will be part of the public exhibit—an excellent rehearsal for the Novice Show (June 14).
