Welcome to the website of the Triangle Bonsai Society (TBS). Although centered in the Triangle, we have active members living throughout the eastern half of North Carolina. TBS promotes the art of bonsai through meetings, lectures, workshops, and demonstrations, featuring local, regional, national, and international bonsai artists.

Monthly meetings are normally held at 1:30 pm the first Sunday of the month, at:

4011 Carya Dr, Raleigh, NC, 27610
Commons Building, Wake County Office Park

2010 Scheduled Events

  • Next meeting will be September 12th, 2010. Ted Matson will be our visiting guest artist.
  • Two Ted Matson workshops on Saturday, September 11th. The morning workshop features a small leaf variety of holly, Heller’s Japanese holly. The afternoon session will be a "Bring your own tree" workshop. See the August newsletter for more information.

Our meetings are open, so if you are not yet a member, but may be interested in bonsai, you are welcome to visit. If you would like more information, contact any of our officers. Remember to check this website for updates, since holidays and scheduling conflicts will occasionally alter the date and/or location.
