• You share ideas with fellow enthusiasts. This to me is the most important one.

• You can add value by teaching others.
• You make friends and expand your network.
• You can get links to buying tools, pots and other equipment.
• You can buy and sell trees.
• You can join in field trips to visit other collections.
• You can join in on Yamadori hunts.
• You have entry to conventions and shows.
• You have access to the club’s library.
• You can support the club by helping to manage the club.
• The advantages by far outweigh the costs which I find are usually quite low.
• Most clubs have websites or a presence on Facebook which gives you further exposure to all things Bonsai.
