The club meets on the third Friday of each month (except May and December) at the Gardena Valley Japanese Cultural Institute (GVJCI), 1964 W 162nd St, Gardena 90247 (West of Western Blvd.) at 7:00 pm.

Our annual bonsai show and sale is held on the first weekend in May, where members and invited artists are encouraged to show off their best trees.
