Fall Fruit & Foliage Bonsai Exhibition

OCTOBER 17 & 18, 2026

The North American Bonsai Federation (NABF) and Hidden Lake Gardens are proud to present the inaugural 2026 Fall Fruit & Foliage Bonsai Exhibition, debuting this fall at Hidden Lake Gardens. This much‑anticipated event will showcase outstanding bonsai from across the region, highlight the beauty of fall color and fruiting varieties and celebrate the artistry, culture, and community of bonsai enthusiasts.

Guests will enjoy a curated exhibition featuring exceptional trees selected through a juried application process, celebrating both artistry and horticultural excellence. In addition to the displays, the event will include workshops, educational presentations, on‑site vendors, auction, food and beverage offerings, and more.

Bonsai artists are invited to apply to have their work considered for display in the exhibition. The NABF aims to present the finest fall fruiting and/or fall‑color bonsai in North America, and applicants may submit up to two bonsai for juried review. 

This is a wonderful opportunity for bonsai practitioners to share their artistry, connect with fellow enthusiasts, and be part of a signature new event at Hidden Lake Gardens.

Whether you're a lifelong bonsai artist or simply appreciate the craft, this exhibition invites you to explore the diverse styles, colors, and creativity that define fall-themed bonsai.
