One club of long standing is the Brandywine Bonsai Society. They generally
hold their meetings in Kennett Square, Chester County about 35 miles
southwest of Philadelphia. The meeting site is quite near the famous
Longwood Gardens.

Though I'm not a member I'm pretty good friends with the club's founder,
Doris Froning (she's my mother). "Dorie", as everyone calls her, is on the
board of directors for the Bonsai Pavillion of the National Arboretum.

Please use directory assistance for her phone number. Thanks.
Andrew Froning
