I know of three within my state, but each are about an hour or more away, and I'm rather dependent upon others taking me places... I know of one nursery that USED to exist on Cape Cod (aptly named Cape Cod Bonsai), but it closed down last year for reasons unknown to me, unfortunately.

Today I happened to find a place selling bonsai (not quite the standard mallsai, but they were definitely shipped there, as they had printed tags on the branches. The junipers looked rather like they weren't doing too well being confined to a warm greenhouse in early early autumn. The rest were tropical and seemingly healthy) and some very basic supplies like annealed copper wire in a couple gauges and small bonsai pots and humidity trays right in my hometown of Plymouth (Morrison's Home and Garden off of exit 5 on Route 3, after Shops at 5. Looked like they had very small shrubs outside on display that looked trainable, as well) while looking for a decent fertilizer. The lady who took care of the bonsai there ended up talking me into Osmocote Indoor and Outdoor, used at 1/4 to 1/2 the recommended strength, which I'm still skeptical of for autumn fertilization... but I'm glad I discovered a place that's much closer than Stoughton, Littleton or Bellingham.

With that said, I'm just wondering in a roundabout way if there are any lesser nurseries (not found on the internet) that grow bonsai on-location and/or sell basic supplies. [Northern] Rhode Island is a possibility for me as well, but the South Shore of MA is preferrable.
