With the COVID -19 virus confirmed in Johnson County we have made the decision to postpone the March 28th Bonsai event.

We’re disappointed but believe for the health and safety of our staff, members of Eastern Iowa Bonsai Assn and our customers this decision is the right one. Watch for a new date, hopefully we’ll be able to have it this fall.
