We strongly urge eveyone interested in bonsai to join a local bonsai society. Membership in most societies includes training and advice on growing, styling, and creating bonsai. Access to members with extensive experience in bonsai is an invaluable aid to solving problems, broadening your understanding of the art, and gaining motivation and enthusiasum from others who enjoy bonsai. Study groups are often available to provide intensive study of the art and techniques of bonsai.
Below we have provided a number of links to local bonsai societies in our home state of Louisiana, in other states, and to national and international societies. If you know of a bonsai society not listed here and would like it to be listed, e-mail us at LivingArtBonsai@vrtx1.com with the societies contact information and web address if available.
