Phil, If you have a local Botanical garden any where near you and they have bonsai on display there will be someone there you can talk to who will be able to tell you about local clubs and meetings. And if anything they probably have their own club there.

Looks like the only one in your state is the one in Atlanta

Along the same lines, I'm looking for a source of Gran-I-Grit in the Augusta area. The closest I've found is a twenty-five pound bag of Manna Pro poultry grit at Tractor Supply. I'd like to find a source with larger quantities available. James

Another place you might want to check is your local community college or learning annex. On weekends they can hold special seminars for certain hobies.

I learned about dragon fruit cultivation at one a few years back.
