In a joint effort to build a world-class bonsai collection for the public in
Southern California, the Golden State Bonsai Federation and the
Huntington Library and Botanical Gardens
established the GSBF Collection at the Huntington in 1993.
|
Today, the growing collection features
bonsai masterpieces and
viewing stones from noted artists throughout the region, and is curated by
the internationally known bonsai master, Ben Oki.
|
As part of The Huntington's formal
Japanese Garden complex, the GSBF Collection at The Huntington offers a chance
for visitors from around the world to gain a more complete understanding of
traditional Japanese art and culture, and to develop an even greater
appreciation for the wonder of nature as expressed through this emerging global
artform.
|
You can help the Collection by volunteering your time or donating gifts of bonsai.
Designated specimens will be added to the permanent collection. Given donor
approval, other specimens will be auctioned to help support the collection and
its programs. The GSBF is a 501(c)(3) non-profit educational foundation. All
donations are tax deductible.
