✉️ From the President:

“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


🎉 50th Anniversary Regional Bonsai Show

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.

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).
