Welcome to the Bonsai Society of Greater Cincinnati

Since 1964 the Bonsai Society of Greater Cincinnati (BSGC) has been helping people learn, study, and appreciate the art of bonsai. If you are interested in learning about this ancient art form, join us for any of our monthly meetings – they’re open to the public and we would love to see you there!
