Does anyone in the UK or the British Isles do Bonsai?
Posted by Bonsai Care on Dec 31, 2008
Bonsai is the ancient Japanese tradition of creating miniature gardens in small boxes or planters. Does anyone do this and if yes, then how long have you been doing this and do they sell well in your country?
I have ben creating these delightful miniature gardens complete with live green moss, working waterfalls, brooks or bubbling ponds, along with a miniature tree, placing them in a Saikai Dish and marketing them here in the USA, for the past ten years. I do this as a hobby, a way for me to relax from the daily grind of running two companies that market luxury houseboats and renewable energy sources. I find it to be very relaxing, comfortable and rewarding, and I only sell them if I feel that the person buying my creation will take as good a care of the tree as I would.
I can use native grown trees, in whatever country I am in, so this is not a problem, and I have heard that in the British Isles, there is a lot of gren moss available.
Is anyone doing this now?
Thank you
There is a Bonsai Nursery just outside the town of Newquay in Cornwall: http://newquay-bonsai.co.uk.

There is a Bonsai nursery between two Towns called Kidderminster (Worcestershire) and Stourbridge (West Midlands) on the road numbered A449.
Yes – we do have a lot of green moss – it loves our climate, although sea weed might be moving in due to the current weather problems!

There is a Bonsai grower in Brighton (Sydney Street?) near Kensington Gardens anyway! He has some stunning specimens in the window and whatever he sells, he offers to trim for the buyer at any time. I have never managed to successfully keep one for more than a year, sad to say. So they are wasted on me.

If you have a look on Google for the UK, you will see that there are quite a lot of places that do Bonsai's.It's a nice hobby.My uncle had a tree for years, but it died when he went on holiday.He forgot to ask for someone to look after it.
