The July Monthly Club Meeting featured a demonstration on "Shimpaku Juniper Development" by special guest presenter and AABC Visiting Tutor David Nassar. David specialises in shimpaku junipers and demonstrated his expertise in growing and styling this species. His tips and hints were greatly appreciated by all attending.
Our August Monthly Meeting at 7:30pm on Tuesday 13th August will feature a presentation on "Accent Plants" used in conjunction with the display of bonsai, by Victor Byrdy. Victor has many years of bonsai experience, both as a member of our club and as past president of the Bonsai Society of Victoria, and will no doubt have a lot of wisdom to impart to us. The theme for the Display Table will be "Root Over/On Rock", or Member's Choice.
The Last Saturday of the Month Workshop will be held on Saturday 31st August from 1:00pm to 4:00pm at the Chirnside Park Hub

The Introduction to Bonsai training course has been completed for 2024. Any newer members who missed out can put their names down for the next course, currently scheduled for 2025 but could be brought forward if sufficient demand exists.

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 sixteen 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 2024.
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.
