BIMER (pronounced "Beamer") is an aboriginal name for Moreton Bay Fig.

This magnificent tree is a distinctive part of Brisbane's Flora; and their huge crowns provided shelter for this region's earliest inhabitants - the aborigines.
It is therefore considered to be an appropriate symbol for our Club.

The Aim of the Club is to provide a sheltering umbrella for motivated people with an interest in Bonsai, and to develop and enjoy their hobby art with other enthusiasts.

The Fig is also an excellent species for Bonsai cultivation by both beginners and experienced Bonsai hobbyists alike.

ABOUT THE CLUB?
The Bimer Bonsai Club held its first meeting in February 1983 with a handful of interested and enthusiastic people, and has grown continuously ever since.
The Bimer Bonsai Club Inc. meets on the first Saturday of each month (except January) at Church Hall, Jaguar Street, Chermside West, between l:00 and 4:30 p.m. EVERYONE IS WELCOME!

We are a work and practice oriented Club, working together at meetings on trees to learn, by sharing information, skills, and experience between members. Thus part of all meetings is devoted to working on and discussing Bonsai, with assistance for newcomers from our more experienced members.

We learn by sharing ideas and studying other members at work.
We also learn by discussing styling of trees, and techniques used by tutors.
Guest speakers and demonstrations, local, national and international, provide instruction at our meetings.
Field trips, day trips to buy trees, pots etc, workshops and our Annual Show at Mt Coot-tha give us a very full calendar.
