The National Bonsai Society was founded in 1973
and was the first dedicated Bonsai society in the U.K. open to all.
The objects of the society are to promote, inform and further the interests in the art of Bonsai, together with any associated activity, The Society looks to cater for the needs of both beginners and experienced bonsai growers/artists. Members are encouraged to appreciate the Bonsai of China, Japan and other countries, but to also develop the art of British Bonsai.
Since its creation the Society's home has been Southport in the North West of England. Meetings are held monthly in the St. George's United Reform Church, Lord Street, Southport at 7.30 p.m on the third Tuesday of each month. These are of a practical nature, led by a speaker or demonstrator. They are designed to appeal to a broad range of abilities and interests, from beginner to experienced and include a members
"Tree Of The Month" competition. Non-members are welcome to attend the meetings.
