It's becoming a bit of a tradition now, us polling down to Heathrow every autumn (4am start) and with good reason. This show has turned into what I think is currently the UKs premier bonsai clubs show. The team here are tireless and have excelled themselves this year...

Now summer  (such as it was) is solidly behind us it's the time of year when we get busy whipping some of our stock into shape. Living out on the coast the next three months will most likely be very mild and experience has shown it to be an ideal time to work...

I suppose it's a dream job for most bonsai nuts. Every year I have to buy between one and two thousand trees. Who wouldn't love to have a trip around Europe spending a hefty five figure sum on bonsai? I get to see all the new stock when it arrives and all the fresh...

The excellent Heathrow Bonsai Show is coming up again soon. Once again we will be there with lots of goodies. We already have a lot of orders we will be bringing so if there is something you would like us to bring along please let us know in good time so we can...

I don't think many people see the world in the way I do, I have some crazy things going on up there. Unfortunately that leaves me at a bit of a disadvantage when it comes to buying bonsai trees and in particular raw material because I, as it were, "See dead people"....

It's been a few weeks since we had new stock arriving. We have had several weeks where more trees are leaving than are arriving and that bothers me so I bought a few bits to keep me in the right frame of mind. Next week we have a large delivery of trees arriving but...

For the last twenty-five years I have never had less than a thousand plants in my garden. These days we are moving between fifteen hundred and two thousand plants a year. All told a lot of plants have moved through my hands over the years. To be fair I am pretty crap...
