The Cornwall Bonsai Society is a friendly group of enthusiasts who meet regularly to promote and enjoy the art of bonsai. We welcome all aspects and views about our hobby. Each and every persons' view point is valued and considered, from both the novice grower to the more experienced member. We are a non-competitive society whose sole intention is to care for our trees and members equally.
