HBS Board of Directors

John Reamer - President

As a Creative Director, John’s journey into the world of bonsai began with his deep appreciation for both design and nature. He purchased his first bonsai in high school, but it wasn’t until college, while studying Graphic Design, that his passion truly took root. Influenced by Japanese aesthetics, particularly the principles of simplicity, wabi-sabi (beauty in imperfection), and the melding of nature with design (seen in many Japanese gardens), John found a deep connection between his design sensibilities and the art of bonsai.  After graduating, he began seriously collecting bonsai, with a special interest in yamadori and cultivating raw material—especially Texas natives. He then joined the Houston Bonsai society and was appointed to the Board in 2020 and president in 2025.
