Australian National Bonsai Convention

I visited this Bonsai show in Brisbane, Queensland, with my family, and friends from the Sunshine Coast Bonsai Society. The convention showcased some of the most beautiful trees in the state and country.

Enjoy the trees with some traditional Japanese music.

Information about the convention:

Proudly hosted again by the Bonsai Society of Qld Inc. As we release this event to the public, we are celebrating 50 years from our humble beginnings in 1973. A milestone celebrated by only a handful of clubs throughout Australia. BSQ has always endeavoured to provide Bonsai knowledge in a relaxed atmosphere where Bonsai Artists of all levels of experience can learn from each other. Whatever we learn is ours to share with others as we develop Bonsai for the pleasure of the present and the benefit of the future. We host this convention with the same spirit.

We are very proud of the program we have put together for you to enjoy in the very comfortable surrounds of the Royal on the Park Hotel in Brisbane City. We have a rolling and interactive program of demonstrations to keep you entertained and informed throughout the program as well as the social activities of the Friday night Welcome BBQ Reception, where we will fill your bellies in a casual atmosphere, and then do it again a little more formally for the Saturday Night Dinner. An exhibition of trees from Bonsai clubs across Queensland will be a beautiful sight and we will attack your wallets in the sales area, which will be open exclusively for delegates for the first hour of trading.

Friday will kick off proceedings with a Nursery, Bonsai House and Gardens Tour, which will visit our biggest Bonsai Nursery, Australian Bonsai Grower, in the morning before heading to the Brisbane Botanic Gardens for lunch in the Gardens Café before touring the brand new Bonsai House and Bonsai Collection housed permanently within the gardens. You will get a presentation on the history of the collection and its time at the gardens where you can enjoy some afternoon tea before a tour of the Australian Native Garden to see more of our species in a natural bush setting.

Koji Hiramatsu will also host an Advanced Workshop Day on the Friday for those serious Bonsai Artists looking to improve their skills and share it with their club members. Spaces limited to 10 people for that one, so you will need to get in early.

Saturday and Sunday are the main Convention days, with a full program of activity on both days. Full registration includes all daytime activities on the Convention Program and also Morning Tea, Lunch and Afternoon Tea on both days. Single day registration is also available for either day for those that can’t make the whole weekend and also includes all food on the day selected. For the full convention program, click on the link below.

Monday Koji will host morning and afternoon workshops at the venue for those wanting to get a more personal taste of what the Master has to offer for your World of Bonsai. Martin Walters will also be running workshops on Monday. There will be 8 participants in each session and observers are welcome to learn from the whole experience also (observers can move between both workshops at each session).

Koji will also be providing bonsai critique sessions between 8am and 8.45am on Saturday 18th May and Sunday 19th May. During these sessions Koji will choose 5 to 6 trees from the exhibition to provide a critique and discuss display elements. Spaces will be limited for these sessions (max 15 people), and the cost will be $35 per person.

We have also released some new workshop sessions with Koji Hiramatsu on Tuesday 21st and Wednesday 22nd May. There will be a morning session from 9am to 12.30pm and an afternoon session from 1.30pm to 5pm each day. Workshop cost is $75 per person. The sessions will be held at an alternate venue to the convention, we are in the process of sourcing a suitable location within Brisbane, and will provide further details once confirmed.

We hope to greet many of you there to share in this fantastic event and continue to grow the Art of Bonsai in Australia. Read on for more details about our demonstrators.
