I’m in Salina, Kansas, anyone in the area. Wichita KS has a club but it’s a little far to drive for the meetings.

It’s late winter here in Edmonton, Alberta. If any other Albertans come down to Edmonton, drop by and take a look at bonsai sleeping under the snow. Our meetings are on the third Thursday of each month.

Hi all.

I’m a member of the Bonsai Society at the Royal Botanical Gardens in Burlington Ontario Canada, and have been learning the art of Bonsai for not quite 2 years so far. It’s a fascinating hobby!

also not that far from Todd Schlafer, an excellent source for collected trees and a very good teacher and artist. Take a class or workshop if you can! Hope this helps.

I love the title of this thread. Makes me think you could create a forum for lonely bonsai artists. Call it “Timber” No photos of the artist, just their trees. “Hmmmm… I like this tree. I want to meet the man who created this.” On the mobile app, we can swipe the little bonsai icon at the top. Slant right: Yes; Slant Left: No
