The Central Coast Bonsai Club is comprised of members keen to learn and explore the wonderful art of bonsai. Since inception in 1997, the club’s prevailing theme has been to promote knowledge, enjoyment and satisfaction gained from the art of bonsai.
Club members include a diverse spectrum ranging from school age to retiree’s. Skill and experience levels extend from beginner to highly experienced and advanced. We welcome all levels and ages so come and enjoy your first meetings without needing to be a member.
Monthly meetings are held on the second Tuesday of each month (except January) from 7.00pm until 9.30pm in the "Tasman Function Room" at Mingara Recreation Club. From time to time, meetings may be held on the weekend at different locations and times, to lighten the travel load for members who live less centrally ion the Coast. These meetings typically involve a guest speaker/demonstrator describing a different aspect of bonsai.
Our calendar details a range of public workshops, full day sessions with top Australian bonsai artists, Annual Shows and Bonsai Classes for those who wish to progress their learnings at a faster pace.
Come along and join the fun and the wonderful art of bonsai.
