Hello. I live in the San Fernando Valley (9a) in Los Angeles and am lucky to have multiple clubs and nurseries in my area. I am a member of the California Bonsai Society, Sansui-Kai Bonsai Club, Descanso Bonsai Society and Conejo Valley Bonsai Society and do the live streaming during our club demos to promote bonsai education for our bonsai community. If you want to learn how live stream during your club events, hit me up. We have a team at CBS dedicated to this work.
Regards,
Mel
What, you had a conversation with Yuzo Maruyama? Where? When?
@ferndinho, I would love to come to a meeting sometime. I’m in Annapolis, so not too far. Any recommendations on a particular meeting to attend? Not sure if you have meetings for this or that, and one may be better than another for someone new. I’ll check out the website for your club…
I cannot find any Bonsai Society in South Jersey area near Atlantic City, if you are aware of any existing society, please email me: roentgen2000@aol.com this newbie is hungry to learn more about our love and passion. Thank you so much…

I live in Issaquah. Joined PSBA a year ago, but let my membership lapse because I wasn’t able to make it to the meetings very often. Would like to start going again.
Hello, My name is Mike and I am in Austin Texas. We have a great club down here in Central Texas. http://www.austinbonsaisociety.com/, we hold meetings every 2nd Wednesday of the month at the Zilker Botanical Garden at 7:30 PM.
We got any VC’s in here? This idea has legs.
I would love to connect with other bonsai people in the Seattle area! Maybe we could start a group.
Hello all, I am originally from Portland Oregon. Just moved to Columbus Ohio with my fiance for her to attend OSU. I am apart of Bonsai Society of Portland and I will go back and forth to portland to visit family and friends. But now that I am in Columbus my circle of bonsai buddies has gone from many to zero. Is there anyone on Mirai that is in the Columbus or Ohio or surrounding areas? I might Join the Columbus Bonsai society but have not gotten any email response from the message I already sent to the club.
Salut ! Hi also from Montreal !
Any good bonsai clubs in Los Angeles?

Representing Tennessee and NBS (Nashville Bonsai Society) here! So happy to be a part of this amazing group! Mirai has inspired me to increase my knowledge and expand. I have never really been a fan of pines and junipers really as they always seemed…over worked. Because of Mirai though, I am now wanting to delve into conifers. Can’t wait until spring starts to arrive this year! So many plans!!!
Western Suburbs of Melbourne, Australia. Looking forward to having Ryan come out here in May - but that’s off topic.
I am not a member of any of these clubs but plan on joining very soon.

I’m sure there are others in Melbourne but those are the ones I’ve come across.
I’m in southern california in Apple Valley, CA specifically. Anyone near me?
Also is anyone in southern california have any idea if there are any judged shows during the year? All that I have been to have not had judging.
We used to have a club in Carson City, apparently, but the organizer passed away some years ago. If you live in the Reno area, a couple of bonsai nerds and myself, are considering starting a new club here modeled after the BSOP. If you are near, give me a shout.
Maybe contact Scott Chadd of Lotus Bonsai Nursery, He may be able to hook you up with a good club in your area.
Looks like Bills Bayou already set you up. Awesome! Scott Chadd used to be the president of GSBF, so it all works out.
Anyone or any groups in the Amarillo, TX area? It’s a bonsai wasteland here. It’s been incredibly hard to find anything bonsai related.
