Bonsai Exhibition 2024 Canberra Bonsai Society

Overview

This year’s display will feature high-quality bonsai from the collections of CBS members, including some created by local artists represented in the National Bonsai and Penjing Collection of Australia housed at the National Arboretum. It will include both traditional exotic and native species.

This year they are expecting that there will be many highly refined trees on display and some traditional Japanese tokonoma-style displays. Demonstration sessions will be held daily, covering aspects of designing and maintaining bonsai.

In addition, there will be plant sales of starter plants, advanced stock trees and styled bonsai. The CBS plant sale is an excellent opportunity to buy bonsai and stock plants of a quality not often available in Canberra. Several traders from outside Canberra will offer plants, pots and associated bonsai equipment as well. Australian-made and imported Japanese and Chinese bonsai pots, tools and wire, and books will also be available.

Visitors will be able to vote for their favourite bonsai. Access is via the Eastern entrance to the Canteen/Hall. Parking is available in the main carpark. Follow the signs when you arrive.
