Bonsai Society of Brevard Hosts March Events Including Bonsai and Cheers

The Bonsai Society of Brevard posted its monthly "Bonsai in Brevard" notice on February 10, 2026 confirming a March 21 meeting featuring Germán Arellano as a visiting demonstrator, an appearance that promises in-person technique and demonstration for central Florida growers. The announcement matters to Brevard bonsai growers because Arellano is presented as an experienced teacher with a background that blends family training and later study under noted instructors.

The Bonsai Societies of Florida calendar lists Arellano in two entries: “German Arellano – Bonsai Society of Brevard” and “German Arellano – Central Florida Bonsa Club,” the latter marked “Time to be announced.” The calendar biography fragment reports that “German Arellano is a Colombian bonsai artist known for blending the early training he received from his mother with the advanced techniques he later studied under respected teachers, including Chase Rosade and several leading Latin American masters.” The supplied material truncates the full biography, and both the spelling of his name and the nationality spelling appear with variations in source copy.

Also scheduled on March 21 is a special edition hands-on class titled “Bonsai & Cheers – Intracoastal Brewing.” The Eventbrite listing sets the class for Saturday, March 21, 2026, from 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM at Intracoastal Brewing Company, 652 West Eau Gallie Boulevard, Melbourne, FL 32935, and charges $75 per person. The listing describes a two-hour format and promises a full kit and instruction: “Each ticket includes: 🌱 A live Bahama Berry Bonsai tree ✂️ Bonsai shears to take home 🪴 Bonsai pot + soil 🍺 Two drinks of your choice 📘 Step-by-step guidance and in-depth bonsai education.” The Eventbrite copy also notes “Refunds up to 7 days before event” and encourages readers with “Come sip, shape, and grow with us. Seats fill quickly, grab yours before they’re gone.”

The supplied materials do not explicitly link the Bonsai Society of Brevard meeting and the Intracoastal Brewing class, and they do not state that Arellano will lead the brewery event. The calendar entry for Brevard does list Arellano on March 21, but the club notice does not provide a venue, start time, or admission details in the excerpt provided. Reporters and attendees should therefore treat the two March 21 activities as distinct unless organizers confirm otherwise.

March programming across Florida adds context for the weekend. The Broward Bonsai Society will hold its 19th Annual Bonsai Exhibition at the Flamingo Gardens Wildlife Sanctuary Botanical Garden, listed as “Free and Open to the public.” Lighthouse Bonsai Society plans a bonsai auction at Veteran’s Park in Delray Beach with questions directed to Joe at joem829@aol.com or 954-895-5727. Nearby regional items in the event bundle include a BONSAI-A-THON fundraiser at The Huntington Feb. 28–Mar. 1 and the American Bonsai Society learning seminars in June, underscoring an active spring bonsai calendar.

Verify the spelling and full biography of Germán Arellano and confirm whether he will lead any paid workshops. Check the Intracoastal Brewing Eventbrite listing for ticket availability and refund cutoff. For Brevard growers, the March 21 lineup offers both a potential club demonstration and a paid, material-included workshop in Melbourne - two practical chances to learn, acquire tools, and expand a collection.
