SUMMARY:Australian Plants as Bonsai Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:The Canberra Bonsai Society and the Australian National Botanic Gardens are pleased to present an exhibition of Australian Plants as Bonsai. The art of miniature trees in pots or trays started in China around 2000 years ago (penjing) and was taken up in Japan around 1200 years ago where it started to be called bonsai about 150 years ago. \nThe secret to looking old:\nThe exhibition will display over 40 bonsai and penjing and related items created by Canberra Bonsai Society members. \nThe tips for those beginning bonsai will be explained as part of the display and at the demonstrations. Bonsai can look old in just a few years by starting with mature stock or ‘growing on’ in the ground. Techniques to develop a wide trunk\, dead branches or scars all give the tree the appearance of age. Many bonsai are passed from artist to artist over time as the trees may live for decades. \nBonsai can give enjoyment in caring for trees; be artistic in how the tree is styled and displayed; and social when sharing knowledge and expertise with members of the Canberra Bonsai Society. \nWe hope you enjoy the exhibition in 2026. \nExhibition Opening Hours\n9:30am – 4:00pm \nLocation\nCrosbie Morrison Building\,\nAustralian National Botanic Gardens\nClunies Ross St\, Acton\, ACT \nFollow the signs from the carpark\, Visitor Centre or café. \nDemonstration\n11.00 am and 2:00pm daily \nAdmission\nAdult                                  $5.00\nConcession                       $3.00\nAccompanied children under 12 Free. \nMore information? \nEmail apab@cbs.org.au or phone Linda on 0408 286 252
