Bonsai Training

Post by philf555 »

Hi all,

Ive been around Bonsai and started my very modest collection about 10 odd years ago. I have recently joined AusBonsai and have found the information EXTREMLY helpfull and it has helped re ignite my passion for Bonsai. My knoweledge has been primarily gained from books. I am very keen to receive some structured learning in the form of possibly a class I can enrol in. Can anyone recommend something to me in the Sydney/Kellyville/Annangrove/Dural area. Any help would be greatly appreciated.Ps. Keep up the great work with this site its gold. :hooray:

Hi Phil and Welcome to Ausbonsai :-)

I am a member of The School of Bonsai, based at Northrocks and Clinon Nesci is the President

We have a full 3 year structured course, but offer advanced standing for previous experience as well.
Give Clinton a call or dropin and see him at Nescis Nursery and have a chat, you will not be sorry :cool:

Phil the earlier you join a club the better, books can offer some information and this site is great as you can see what is happening now and people can offer answers, but clubs are a face to face thing you can not beat.
