Welcome

Canberra Bonsai Society promotes the ancient and living art of bonsai through sharing knowledge and experience with members and the wider community. We meet monthly (normally the first Saturday of the month) to listen to presentations, show and tell, and to work on our trees in informal workshops. There are numerous opportunities to participate in other Society activities like exhibitions, Floriade, field excursions, workshops, and trips to interstate nurseries.

There is extensive expertise in the Society with respect to traditional material and the development of Australian plants as bonsai. A number of members are involved in preparations for the National Bonsai and Penjing Collection of Australia, being established as one of the distinctive gardens of the Canberra International Arboretum and Gardens.

This website reflects the objectives of the club to build value and a sense of community for its members, and to connect with the wider bonsai community, nationally and internationally, through the sharing of information. With that in mind we invite you to contribute to our bonsai knowledgebase.

If you are interested in the unique living art form of bonsai we invite you to join us at our monthly meetings. Visitors are most welcome.
