Bonsai Society of Southern Tasmania

Bonsai Society of Southern Tasmania The Bonsai Society of Southern Tasmania is the southernmost bonsai society in Australia. Members are bonsai enthusiasts in Hobart and surrounds.

Bonsai is a four-dimensional art form, having length, width, depth – and time! It allows the enthusiast to closely study the on-going development of a tree which, in Nature, could achieve a height of 20–30 m, but in bonsai may only be 30–40 cm. Although originating in Japan and China, interest in bonsai is now a global phenomenon and some of the very best trees and collections can be found

in other areas of the World. Members of the Society are bonsai enthusiasts in Hobart and surrounds. They range from the absolute novice through to the experienced and very talented expert. The members’ trees range from the classic bonsai, such as maples and pines, through to rare exotics and Australian and, especially, Tasmanian native species. The Society holds monthly meetings, runs workshops, publishes a newsletter, organizes tree-collecting excursions and mounts exhibitions. It holds an extensive library of bonsai books and magazines for the use of members. Please explore our website and learn more about the Society’s activities and, if interested, how to become a member.

🍃It was great to see everyone who made it to our last meeting on Saturday before the winter break! It was a brilliant catch-up, especially following our recent involvement in the AABC National Australian Bonsai Convention and Exhibition.

🍂We spent time discussing the convention, and seven of our members showed their styled trees from the Monday workshops, shared their experiences, key takeaways, and future plans for their trees.

🍁Now that we are on our winter break, we are planning our schedule for the rest of the year - and want your input! If you have any ideas, workshop topics, or activities you’d like the club to do, let us know and we’ll make it happen.

Enjoy the break from fertilizing and seasol
Happy Bonsai! Nat 🌳
