Philippine Bonsai Clubs and Society

Philippine Bonsai Society Inc. (PBSI)

           The Philippine Bonsai Society, Inc. (PBSI) started as a non-formal group in 1973 and was finally organized as a non-stock, non-profit association in 1975 with Rose Laurel Avaceña as its founding president. The initial core group of 15 members has eventually mushroomed to over a hundred active bonsai enthusiasts. The PBSI, being the pioneer of the Bonsai Community initiated the formation of provincial clubs that actively participated in PBSI-sponsored bonsai competitions nationwide. These challenge and inspire the local bonsai clubs to enhance heir horticultural art skills for global bonsai competitiveness.

            The PBSI is internationally recognized in the Bonsai Global Community, i.e. the Bonsai Club International (BCI), Asia-Pacific Bonsai and Suiseki Friendship Federation (ABSFF) and World Bonsai friendship Federation (WBFF).
