What are the benefits of joining a bonsai club?
Bonsai clubs are great way to meet people who share the same interest in the art. One of the main benefits of joining a bonsai club is improving your own skill and technique. Many clubs will feature demonstrations or workshops by well known artists around the country. However, the best way to learn is through collaboration with other members. Everybody has a different vision for a bonsai tree. By joining a club, you have the opportunity to learn from others and share ideas and tips.
Typically most clubs will invite members to bring in their trees to be worked on. Members can work with their trees and get ideas or learn techniques on how to improve their tree.
Check your local city for the closest bonsai club. Or visit the Golden State Bonsai Federation(http://www.gsbfbonsai.org/) or American Bonsai Society (http://www.absbonsai.org/) to search for a club in your area.
