SPECIAL NOTE! YVBS Bonsai Exhibition 2025 - Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd November at the Chirnside Park Community Hub, 33 Kimberley Drive, Chirnside Park! A stunning display of bonsai trees, both exotic and native. All welcome! Adults $5, accompanied children free.
The October Monthly Meeting featured a presentation and demonstration on "Air Layering Techniques" by our own Steve M. A great way to propagate interesting trees or correct problem areas on existing trees. All attending members will have been suitably inspired to try it themselves.
Our November Monthly Meeting at 7:30pm on Tuesday 11th November will feature a presentation on "Pot Selection" by Steve M and Grant L. Steve and Grant will go over the theory, practical explanation and provide an in depth demonstration as to the fundamentals of how you decide to find the most ideal pot for your tree. There will also be a tree and pot swap/sale event.  The theme for the Display Table will be "Azaleas", or Member's Choice.

Our annual Bonsai Exhibition will be held on 22nd and 23rd November. We hope to see all members there, and please encourage friends and family to come along and check out the magnificent display of this ancient art.

The Last Saturday of the Month Workshop will be held on Saturday 29th November from 1:00pm to 4:00pm.

Visitors are always welcome at any of our meetings or workshops, so feel free to drop in to check out our activities. Our Club is ideally suited to help you enjoy this wonderful hobby and pastime. We are a relatively new Club, just seventeen years old, but we boast a bunch of friendly members with a wide variety of experience and ages, some brand new to bonsai, right through to those that have been enjoying it for over forty years, and many degrees in between. It is a great place to learn in a friendly and welcoming environment.
We look forward to catching up with you somewhere in the "world of bonsai" in 2025.
The venue for all of our Meetings and Workshops is the Chirnside Park Community Hub, 33 Kimberley Drive, Chirnside Park. Contact yarravalleybonsai@gmail.com for additional information.
