World Bonsai Day

FREE

World Bonsai Day is for sharing the peaceful, living art of bonsai and advancing international friendship and goodwill throughout the world. We celebrate World Bonsai Day by re-opening the Bonsai Exhibit at Lynden. Visitors are welcome to stop by the bonsai patio to observe world-class bonsai artist Suthin Sukosolvisit as he conducts a workshop for the bonsai volunteers who staff the pavilion at Lynden. Suthin will focus on refinement of the exhibit bonsai: the skills to keep “finished” trees looking their best are very different from those needed to develop a new bonsai. Born in Thailand, Suthin and his wife operate the Royal Bonsai Garden in Stoughton, Massachusetts.

Thereafter, the Bonsai Pavilion, which houses the collection of the Milwaukee Bonsai Foundation, will be open to the public Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 10 am-4 pm, and by appointment, from May to October.
