Single white Bonsai looking for friends....

[BonsaiSteve]

I'm new here so cut me some slack, but is there a way to search for members in your area like you could in Bonsaitalk? I can't seem to find it...

Thanks,

Yup they do....How many do you have?

I've been into the hobby for two years now. I have 13, in various stages of development (a few sticks in pots).

Ahh so the trees do have company ....
So it is really you who are wanting others that practice Bonsai....
Are you wanting a Bonsai buddy or Participate in a Group Setting/Workshop or joining a Club?

I'm really just looking for a buddy, someone close by that I can work on trees with. I've been to the two clubs that are near me for workshops, yamadori trips, meetings, etc. a couple times, but they are both about a 2 hour drive one way. I'd like to find out if someone more close by that shares my interest.

You feel like making a trip to NH Irene?

LOL That would have been tempting a month ago when we were triple digit temps here
But you are always welcome here

Maybe when it's -20 degrees here.. though my trees may not like the change so much!

Good questions, Steve. That "BonsaiBuddy" function at BT was quite useful. (Hint, Greg? )

I've been into bonsai long enough that most of my acquaintances know of my passion for it. A couple of young men have gravitated to me as a result.

MY best suggestion right now: contact any local garden clubs, and the local Master Gardeners.
