I wanted to take a few seconds to say hello and introduce myself. I have been working with Bonsai for about 4 years, but only in the last two has it become an obsession. I am currently a member of Badger Bonsai of Madison Wisconsin - www.badgerbonsai.org but can only make a few meetings as they are a little over an hour away from me. But the president is a wonderful guy that really knows his stuff - www.bonsaibobs.com I LOVE the Fukien Tea and have a nice one that I am working with currently. My wife and I just bought a new home and are looking forward to converting the back four seasons porch into a greenhouse/Japanese garden...with a specific area for me to work on my Bonsai! And yes, I am a pastor. I work as a Youth Pastor in Northern Illinois...but don't worry. I am not here to save your soul, just my bonsai! Thanks (to whoever) for such a wonderful site! Glad that I found it! I have been in the chat once (everyone was very nice) and have even started my journal regarding my greenhouse! Look forward to meeting you all! Jeffrey

Thanks pootsie,

I use the name so the teens I work with know that it is me if they are on any of the sites that I/we go to...but sometimes the title honks people off.

Thanks for the warm welcome from all! Great PM from you guys. Thanks!

Jeffrey

Carl Rosner one of the members here has a 4 season porch that he converted to his "Tree House". You would do well to learn from his experience. Again welcome, Adam
