“ A BRIEF EXPLANATION OF THE NAME”

Kinnoto “pronounced” Kin-no-toe means Gold City in Japanese, Gympie was known as The Gold City in the Gold Rush Days 1867-1868, hence the name “ Kinnoto”

“ ABOUT US “

WE ARE NOT AN OFFICIAL OR AFFILIATED CLUB.

We are a group of Bonsai enthusiasts, from learners to experienced, who get together the last Saturday of each month, to share our knowledge and learn from others, on the subject of Bonsai. We are privileged and thankful to have been given the opportunity to use the facility at Golden City Brick & Landscape, and we are extremely grateful to the manager, Phil Sparks and his staff for this . Phil has OPENED the opportunity for BONSAI enthusiasts in our district, to shop locally, by putting into his stock Bonsai Supplies ( Bonsai Pots-Tools-Accessories and Plants suitable to Bonsai ) both for our group, as well as the general public to purchase, so lets all give him some support to make this work " Both he and we Bonsais-ts will benefit.

We will occasionally conduct hands on workshops and have regular discussions on our individual Bonsai experiences, we can all learn something from each other and we don't have any special rules that have to be followed in regards to how we create our own individual Bonsai. This group is all about "freedom of choice" within BONSAI.... YOU choose the way in which you wish to style your BONSAI, whether you want to follow the Japanese Traditional Rules, or just do your own thing, and there should not be any Personal COMPETITION between members as far as their Bonsai goes....so don't be afraid to bring along your favorite Bonsai Plant to our group get together we are not here to criticize... WE ARE HERE TO LEARN.

BONSAI is not hard to learn and can be very beneficial for Mind and Body and Spirit.

SO...COME ON PEOPLE..... YOU WILL NEVER NEVER KNOW IF YOU DON'T GIVE IT A GO.

If you want further information phone James on 0409265251 or send a TXT Msg. or Email

MEETINGS START AT 10:00 AM ............FINISH AT 1:00 PM …The Last Saturday of each month

MEETING MAY 2010


Well unfortunately, I should have taken some earlier photos when there were more of us here
it wasn't too bad for our first official meeting, roughly about fourteen of us showed up.
Unfortunately the commercial advertising, we organised did not come out in time for this meeting, so hopefully next time the general public will know of the groups meeting in time.
