Canberrans, other visitors, and delegates to the 2025 AABC National Bonsai Convention experienced the serenity of bonsai at the AABC 2025 Convention and Exhibition in May.

The Canberra Bonsai Society's 50th-anniversary celebration included an exhibition of over 130 high-quality trees, pots, and display stones open to the public on May 17 and 18. In addition to the exhibition, a vendor area offered trees, pots, tools, and equipment for sale, providing a comprehensive experience for Exhibition visitors interested in bonsai.

For those who missed it, here are some links to media reports and a video of the exhibition.
