 Support Opportunites

Our first US National Shohin Bonsai Exhibition in  2017 was an outstanding success and received excellent reviews. Beautiful bonsai from across the United States were displayed in an elegant setting. Staging and organizing such a historic event requires the support of many generous donors. If you would like to support the growth, appreciation and improvement of shohin bonsai, please consider a contribution to this worthwhile event and be part of creating the history of bonsai in the United States.

Please contact William N. Valavanis for support details.
