Founded in 1989 by a group of dedicated bonsai enthusiasts, the Sri Lanka Bonsai Association (SLBA) aims to promote and celebrate the art of bonsai throughout Sri Lanka. Our diverse membership includes individuals from various backgrounds—housewives, horticulturists, and professionals—who share a common passion for this beautiful art form. Many of our senior members are recognized as some of the leading bonsai practitioners in the country, contributing their expertise to elevate the standard of bonsai in Sri Lanka. The SLBA actively organizes annual exhibitions, workshops, and demonstrations, making bonsai more accessible to the community and inspiring both seasoned practitioners and newcomers. Our outreach efforts, including media appearances and educational initiatives, have successfully introduced bonsai to rural areas, fostering appreciation and practice among a wider audience. SLBA has a vibrant online presence and thousands of followers on social media, and it continues to inspire and connect bonsai enthusiasts across the nation.
