Hi, I live in North Carolina on the coast in Morehead City. I was wondering if anyone knows of any nearby bonsai nurseries or clubs. I have checked the phone book but cannot find anything involving bonsai specifically. The local nurseries carry some goo
d bonsai material, but no one around here (that I can find) specializes in it. Does anyone know where I could go, besides the internet, to get all my bonsai supplies? Thanks a lot!

There are probably some not far from you. A list, unfortunately, NOT by
state, can be found at:

http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/links/linksupp.html

I don't know where Cherryville is (I've been to Morehead City), but there's
a place called the Growing Grounds (Marc Torpa - (704) 445-3009) that showed
at the recent MidAtlantic convention,

If you feel like an excursion, There's Ron Martin's Tokoname Bonsai in
Summerville, South Carolina (I'm sending him a copy so that you'll have his
eMail address.)

He would be a good person to point you toward other sources (and events)
nearer to you.

A Google search on "Bonsai North Carolina NC" turned up the following:

Silver Bonsai Gallery
905 US 64/264, Manteo (252) 475 1413

You might also try the Bonsai Clubs of the Carolinas at:

That, unfortunately, is probably so far out of date as to be
useless.

I'd gladly take volunteers to cull through the back of recent
bonsai magazines, club newsletters, etc. and post message here
for recommendations enroute to updating (AND MAINTAINING) this
part of the FAQ. That person (or persons) also would have carte
blanche on organizing it by state or by whatever he or she would
want. ;-)

I'm copying Webmaster John Jarrett on this -- just in case he's

I should also have mentioned the BCI list, which I believe is more current:

http://www.bonsai-bci.com/resource.html

I'm all for your idea of updating a resource of this type. It shouldn't be
too big a job, if we can get one person from each club to tell us who's in
their neighborhood, and to distinguish between full-time and weekend (or by
appointment) operations.

Regards,

Bart

Subject: [IBC] Local Bonsai nurseries


Hi, I live in North Carolina on the coast in Morehead City. I was wondering
if anyone knows of any nearby bonsai nurseries or clubs. I have checked the
phone book but cannot find anything involving bonsai specifically. The
local nurseries carry some good bonsai material, but no one around here
(that I can find) specializes in it. Does anyone know where I could go,
besides the internet, to get all my bonsai supplies? Thanks a lot!

--------------------------

Greetings from Raleigh, NC! I know there was a bonsai club in Morehead
City, but I don't know if they are still functioning. There is a new bonsai
club (Cape Fear Bonsai Society) in Wilmington NC that started up last year
or the year before. There website address is:

http://members.aol.com/barkerfred/bonsai.htm

They may be able to help you with info on local bonsai nurseries. There is
also the club here in Raleigh, Triangle Bonsai Society:
http://www.intrex.net/trianglebonsai/. We are having a meeting this Sunday
afternoon at 1:30 in Raleigh. Ted Matson is the guest speaker. He will be
giving a lecture/demo on maximizing the use of deadwood on juniper bonsai.
If you can make it to the meeting, you are more than welcome to attend.

Steve Pilacik has a nice bonsai nursery in Fuquay-Varina NC, just south
of Raleigh. His website is: http://www.matsumomiji.com/.

There is Ron Martin's bonsai nursery in Summerville SC:
http://www.tokonoma.com/.

Someone mentioned The Growing Grounds in Cherryville NC (somewhere
between Charlotte and Asheville). Their website is:
http://www.thegrowinggrounds.com/.

And in Charlotte NC is The Bonsai Learning Center:
http://www.bonsailearningcenter.com/.

Also mentioned was The Silver Bonsai Gallery in Manteo NC:
http://www.silverbonsai.com/bonsai.html.


Hope this helps!

Besides Merritt's excellent suggestions, here's an event to plan ahead
for to feed your bonsai habit!

The North Carolina Arboretum in Asheville hosts a Bonsai Expo 2nd
weekend every October, where you'll find multiple vendors, as well as
lectures and demonstrations. Their collection's curator, Arthur Joura,
is a generous, knowledgable, irreverent guy, with a particular
fondness for local material. I plan to drive down this year for my
special birthday trip

Here's a link describing last year's; detailed info on this year's
hasn't made it onto the NCA's website yet.
http://www.ncarboretum.org/PublicPrograms/PR9-20-02.htm

And you can read more about NCA's trees, and see some images at
http://www.bonsai-wbff.org/nabf/news...carboretum.htm

See you there, a!

I met a guy some years back in Myrtle Beach who was from Wilmington, NC and
had a nursery called Moyogi Bonsai. I don't know if he's still in business -
worth a look.
