retailers in central illinois area

bwh

Hello, everyone. This is my very first post to this site. I was given a japanese juniper for my birthday this week, and I really love it. If all goes well, I would ultimately like to take up bonsai as a hobby, and acquire a collection.

I live in central Illinois, about 25 minutes north of Bloomington-Normal. I was wondering if anyone else also lived around here, and could recommend a good, knowledgeable, reputable nursery. Anyplace within a 100-mile radius would be fine.
I'm looking for a place with expertise in bonsai, good, healthy trees for sale, and service after the sale.

Thanks in advance, for any replies.

If you ever get up to Chicago, there is a good bonsai nursery there.

If you go south- Edwardsville has Biran and Milt Csikowski's nursery- Cass Bonsai Gardens- (www.cassbonsaigardens.com). Nice folks, extremely well respected and knowledgable and carry a broad range of plants and supplies. Best of luck, John
