Bonsaiclubs in New Zealand
Joining a Bonsaiclub is greatly recommended to start and progress in the Bonsaihobby. Besides workshops most Bonsaiclubs organize tours, contests and exhibitions; a great way to learn as much as you please about growing 51cg. Inside New Zealand about 20 Bonsaiclubs and organizations were founded, most of them member of the New Zealand BonsaiAssociation (NZBA). Please contact us to submit missing/updated club information.
