[IBC] Tampa
I will be transferring to the University of Tampa in the fall to finish out
my college and was wondering if there are any Bonsai Shops and/or Clubs in that area of Florida. I know Jupiter Bonsai is just across the state so they will probably be getting quite a few visits. But I was just curious if anyone knew of anything around Tampa/ St. Pete/ Clearwater. Thank You.

[IBC] Tampa
I will be transferring to the University of Tampa in the fall
to finish out my college and was wondering if there are any Bonsai Shops and/or Clubs in that area of Florida. I know Jupiter Bonsai is just across the state so they will probably be getting quite a few visits. But I was just curious if anyone knew of anything around Tampa/ St. Pete/ Clearwater. Thank You. The largest shop near Tampa is The Potted Forest in Dade City, Fl. about 30-35 miles to the northeast of Tampa -- 37650 Farr Road, Dade City, FL 33523. tel. (352)518-1109, www.pottedforest.com. It is by appointment only. I haven't been there, but have heard nice things. The company advertises in BCI's "Bonsai" and in Bonsai Today. Jenna's Tropicals, Central Avenue, St. Petersburg (just west of Pasadena Ave.) has a few bonsai (Ficus, juniper, shefflara, etc., including a magnificent not-for-sale bougainvillea) and a few pots and inexpensive tools. Many good nursery plants that are bonsaiable. Its other name is "Log Cabin Nursery" but there are two of those in St. Petersburg. Bonsai by Patti in Gulfport has mostly tropicals (including your beloved Serissa foetida ;-) but the trees were in such poor shape (and so expensive) last time I was there that unless it improves, I wouldn't bother. They wanted $100.00 for a dead ficus in an ugly pot. Up in Ocala, about 100 miles up I-75 is "The Great American Bonsai Co." run by Tom Bennett. By appointment, but I keep losing his phone number. I've bought several pots and a couple of nice Satsuki azalea from him. There REPORTEDLY is a display of bonsai at the U of S. Fla. botanical garden, but my spy has yet to go there. ;-) There are clubs in Tampa and St. Petersburg. Mick Sgroi, who posts here occasionally, is (or was) President of the St. Petersburg Club.

It's true, the Hukyu Bonsai Society of Tampa has a display at the USF
Botanical Garden. We have also constructed a bamboo fence to compliment the display. I will be posting pictures in the gallery. I invite Derek to join us. "Derek Zieminski" wrote in message ...
