Library

Reference Material
The Society has a range of books available for sale that are ideal for the beginner. In addition, the monthly newsletter often includes an article regarding a particular skill as well as tips regarding the care and maintenance of trees.
Workshops
General workshops are held on a bi-monthly basis, usually on the first Sunday of the month, as well as during the year at the evening meetings. These give members the opportunity to bring along a tree or two to work on and to receive advice from the more experienced members of the society. The Sunday workshops are held at various homes throughout Perth and the details are advertised in advance in our Monthly Newsletters
The Society also arranges more formal workshops from time to time, with visiting interstate or international Bonsai Masters & Demonstrators.
Sales, Stalls & Auctions
Members are welcome to set up a stall to sell their unwanted Bonsai materials i.e. finished & pre trained trees, pots, tools, wire etc. A fee of 10% applies to these sales and goes towards the club funds.
The Society also has an annual Auction of new and used Bonsai materials This is usually made up of unwanted items donated by members which are auctioned to raise funds for bringing international demonstrators to Perth. These auctions are usually a lot of fun and is a good way of obtaining some good Bonsai items at a bargain price.
