Welcome to The Mohawk Hudson Bonsai Society
MHBS promotes interest in, appreciation of, and learning about the art of Bonsai in the Capital Region in upstate New York.
Our members share knowledge and experience with one another as well as with the public through demonstrations, visiting artists, and workshops and through our events such as our fall club show where members display their trees.
We welcome all with an interest in Bonsai – from beginner to advanced.
Check out the presentation by Michael Hagedorn from our January 2026 meeting: “Repotting: An Underview”
