Welcome

Be part of the 1st Traditional Chinese Bonsai Institute ever held in Australia”

The Lingnan Penjing Academy of Australia was established with the sole intention of expanding the mind of the artist and to enlighten the soul to an avenue of thought that life opens its secrets to us.
Bridging the gap between Chinese and Western thought, a Taoist approach, The Lingnan Penjing Academy deems it a privilege to share the inner beauty of an ancient art form, Chinese Penjing (The Ancestor of Bonsai). Through the teachings of the Academy, the gap between these two ways of thinking no longer exists. Rather, they become one.
