Made a trip to the Bonsai Learning Center in NC

I stopped by there since I was in the area and wanted to get some wire. I didn’t think that in bonsai my biggest limiting factor would be finding copper wire. :confused: I was pleasantly surprised when I got there and got a chance to see their trees. I’ve never been to a bonsai garden or anything, so to be surrounded by so many quality trees was breathtaking. I’ll definitely be back to take one of their classes. They were doing a class that day and the students will take home 3 trees.

The owners of the shop were very friendly as well. In addition to $100 in wire (sans shipping!) I bought a bag of double red line akadama.

They’re 4 hours away from me. Not exactly close, but good for a weekend trip.
