The Knowledge of Bonsai Forum is an on-line community for the examination and discussion of the cultivation and technical design aspects of bonsai. It is meant to be a place where information concerning bonsai can be freely exchanged in a professional and straightforward manner without the obstacles commonly prevalent in other venues. As the Literati bonsai above suggests, this is a place for scholars of the art, this is the serious bonsaist's home on the web.

America's First National Bonsai Exhibition

The bonsai community is on the threshold of a historic event of such importance that it will no doubt change the state of the art in this country.
