Nor Cal Bonsai nursery's?

[Defect]

Anyone know of somewhere I can buy some good pre-bonsai material? I know there is evergreen garden works a few hours away from me but wondering if there might be a decent one closer by? I knew of one not to far away but it seems it has closed down

I know some of these have been mentioned already, but I've been to each of them and recommend them:

Matsuda Bonsai Nursery
Newcastle, CA
http://www.masteryo.com/matsudaNursery.html

Lotus Bonsai Nursery
Placerville, CA
http://www.lotusbonsai.com/

Lone Pine Gardens (going here this weekend)
Sebastopol, CA
http://www.lonepinegardens.com/

None of the websites are amazing, but the nurseries are definitely worth a visit.

Muranaka is nice as well, but probably a 4-5 hour drive from Santa Cruz. I haven't been to Maruyama Bonsai in Sacramento, but Smoke mentioned it in his "shopping" post. I should try and get there one of these days.

I haven't been to Evergreen Gardenworks, but I would love to as I've heard nothing but great things about Brent, but it's quite far.
