About Me

So who is Expressions of Grace Bonsai?

About Me...

In 2001 I purchased my first larch sapling and then went off to sea for 3 months. (I was in the Royal Navy)  Two years later I had 30 larch trees in different stages of development and I was still going off to sea.

Upon each return to shore I would learn a new way to kill my trees and start again. Those that made it through this ‘hit and miss’ process have become truly beautiful bonsai.

Seventeen years later I find myself surrounded by over 200 bonsai and potensai. This last year I have built three more display benches and am now planning an ornamental rockery to guide customers eyes to the main nursery.

I have hosted a number of visitors and spent many hours talking about different development and care techniques. This nursery is not about selling trees – it is about sharing my love. I encourage anybody who shares this interest to take the time to come by.

My Private Nursery...

Though not formally trained, I do believe my 20 years experience have proven a hard task master on sharpening my growing techniques.  I have also joined the Bonsai MIRAI community and continue to benefit from the tutorial videos Ryan provides on different species and their nuances.
 
So please feel free to pop around to chat and share your bonsai stories. There is a voluntary donation box at the gate and coffee can often be arranged.  As this is a private garden (and my home) you will be joining me as a guest so please be prepared for standard garden hazards.
 
You will be required to complete a short 200 page Health & Safety indemnity form when you arrive (Or just be really careful where you stand…)
I look forward to seeing you soon…
