Badger Bonsai Society is a member of Bonsai Clubs International (BCI).
The Badger Bonsai Society (BBS) was formed in 1972 for the purpose of promoting and enjoying the ancient art of bonsai in and around the Madison-Wisconsin area.
Badger Bonsai Society meetings are open to the public, and anyone interested can attend. However, if you wish to continue attending meetings, you must join as it pays for the cost of the workshops, guests, etc.
