Eastern Province Bonsai Society

The society promotes the art of Bonsai and aims to further members’ knowledge of Bonsai as well as the techniques thereof. The society was founded by the well known late Gwen Skinner on the 15^th September 1969 and is based in Port Elizabeth in the Eastern Cape of South Africa.

This year is the 41st anniversary of the society. We have some keen members, some of whom have been members for over 25 years and as such, have much experience to impart to new members. Meetings are held on the 2^nd Saturday of each month with social outings arranged during the year where we get together and enjoy each others company on an informal basis.

Bonsai is a very rewarding hobby which can provide many years of enjoyment and by joining our society, this opens up a world of opportunities and knowledge ultimately resulting in a sense of satisfaction and camaraderie with other members. The Bonsai art teaches patience, calmness of mind and the love of nature as well as the appreciation of the environment.
