New Bonsai Study Group in SC

The Upstate Bonsai Study Group forms in Greenville, SC

Greenville, SC is starting a new bonsai study group.  Contact Wayne Ficklin (wayneficklin@gmail.com) or see their website for more information. 

The Upstate Bonsai Study Group meets in Greenville, South Carolina. Members from all of the upstate counties of South Carolina, and anyone else willing to drive, that are interested in bonsai are welcome to join this. We will be posting a meeting schedule soon, but a rough estimate of the years meetings will be on the 2nd Saturday of the month. Guests are welcome to visit. Our current location is Green Thumb Bonsai Nursery.

With the closest bonsai club being hours away, Greenville, Spartanburg, and Anderson South Carolina are without any form of club or study group for bonsai. Until now, anyone interested in joining a bonsai club or study group was left to their own devices, short of driving hours to go to club meetings. To that end, the formation of a bonsai study group in the upstate of SC is currently underway. We believe the interest is high enough to warrant forming a bonsai study group or bonsai club for beginner and advanced alike, willing to dedicate one Saturday a month to learning from each other. The upstate area of South Carolina seems to be beckoning for just such a club.

Hopefully this will start out as an informal group getting together to share what we know and assist each other in advancing this hobby, art, or pastime. Please feel free to offer any ideas.
