A couple weeks ago I called my local bonsai store here in north georgia ti inquire about a bonsai 101 class. It was full. Last week I was back over there and they was doing a bonsai 101 class just for a small amount of people and im in. So on the 7th it will be official, I will be a bonsai noob. :)

Wait a minute... if you have to take a bonsai class to reach noob status, what the heck are you right now?
 
I'm not a noob yet I'm just a guy who plays with trees. All kidding aside I have raised a garden and plants for along time and have even dabbled in bonsai before. I have never had any formal training or even someone to show me the ropes. I have done it all on my on just reading and practicing. So this time I joined here and signed up for a class so I learn even more. I'm sure this will be a mallsai juniper class but I want to learn.

Good for you!
 
Every journey starts with just one step

Have fun
 
It is PC. The closest thing around me i think and still little over an hour.

Have you joined the Atlanta Bonsai Society? I'm quite sure it's one of the best regional clubs east of the Rockies, and they've got loads of new members in the last year or two.
 
Have fun and good luck! Still a noob myself but my first class about 5-6 months ago was eye opening. I told someone else but 1 hour of hands on training/learning is worth probably 10-15 hours of youtube videos. Plus, it is really nice to add a social aspect to the hobby. All of my time spent before that was by myself watching videos or reading bnut. Adding other people around you with similar interests and desire to learn will push you to learn more and develop your skills. Have fun and ask questions!!

This Is what I'm hoping for the hands on learning and talking to like minded people.
