VISIT THE
Bonsai Garden at
Lake Merritt
We are a living art museum showcasing some of the finest bonsai in the United States. Nestled within Oakland’s Lake Merritt Lakeside Park, the Bonsai Garden at Lake Merritt (BGLM) is home to around 180 bonsai trees and suiseki viewing stones. These treasures captivate both bonsai enthusiasts and the general public alike. We warmly invite you to visit us!
The City of Oakland will be closing Bellevue Ave on Friday, June 19. Based on this closure, we have decided to close the BGLM.
The BGLM is a nonprofit subsidiary of the Golden State Bonsai Federation (GSBF), a 501 (c)(3) educational organization.
