About the Society

Cape Fear Bonsai Society is a welcoming community dedicated to the study and practice of bonsai in Wilmington, North Carolina. We gather in person for demonstrations and workshops focused on developing healthy trees and strong foundations.

Rooted in the Cape Fear landscape, we draw inspiration from the river, cypress, and coastal climate that shape both our trees and our community.

Established in 2001.
