Puget Sound Bonsai Association Winter Silhouette Show 2026

WHEN: January 31 - February 1, 2026 10AM-4PM Open to the Public

WHERE: Bellevue Botanical Garden - Aaron Education Center

The Puget Sound Bonsai Association invites you to experience the wonder of bonsai in their winter form. Join us, as we explore the subtle beauty of bonsai trees in their winter silhouette form.

In the quiet beauty of winter, ancient bonsai trees reveal their purest form. Stripped of leaves, each branch and trunk stands in sharp relief, showcasing the artistry of structure, balance, and design.

This exhibition invites you to discover the intricate framework and branching of deciduous bonsai trees. In the winter, elegance is found not in the foliage, but in the graceful architecture beneath.
