2026 Bonsai Society of Florida Convention

2026 Bonsai Society of Florida Convention

This year’s Bonsai Convention will be held on May 22-24, 2026 at the Florida Hotel and Conference Center in Orlando, FL. This year’s theme is “Small.” These miniature Bonsai specimens are an important part of the Bonsai tradition. We focus on Mame, Shohin, and Chuhin, but larger trees will be accepted. For those attending the 2026 BSF Convention this year you are invited to participate in the Club Tree. Because this year’s theme is small trees we are allowed to have a Moon display with a number of trees. This is a display I did for a presentation and for our club, if you look carefully at my display, you will see there are no two of a kind and assorted styles.
