bonsaiTALK Community - View Single Post - Club Membership!! FINALLY!!

It is wonderful to connect. Years ago, I wandered aimlessly trying to find one person to bonsai with. The closest organization was Minnesota Bonsai Society, a cool three hours south. They met every 1st tuesday at 7p. Not a feasible trip for me. One day while out garage sale hopping with the better half caught sight of a wonderful bonsai display behind a house. After finding the owner, a great friendship began. He and I decided to find others and sent out feelers, ads in free papers, ads in the garden section of the local paper and found us a nursery for a meeting spot. A year and a half later we have a member count of 25 and growing.

It can only get better.
