Please note that this site in mbs is intended to work in Navigator 4.x. I say this not to denigrate that browser, but instead to spare you any frustration you might otherwise feel. This site exists to explore the cutting edge of HTML+CSS design, and Navigator 4.x is, at four years and counting, just too old to keep up with most things that will be done here. Again, there's nothing wrong with Navigator 4.x, but you probably don't want to use it in this area. Consider it a friendly warning.

Welcome to the Milwaukee Bonsai Society

What is this? The Milwaukee Bonsai Society, Inc. (MBS) is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping individuals in their efforts to increase their knowledge and skills in the art of bonsai. MBS also seeks to foster an increased awareness of the art of bonsai and the society's activities among the general public of Southeastern Wisconsin.

Expanding our horizons

The MBS website was formed to inspire participation in growing bonsai. We'll strive to educate members and the general public, and communicate with other bonsai organizations to share knowledge and opportunities. The goal here is to find ways to make MBS members live up to their fullest potential.

MBS is a member of the Mid America Bonsai Alliance, American Bonsai Society, National Bonsai Foundation, and Bonsai Clubs International.
