Herons Bonsai, based in Newchapel in the UK and founded by Dawn and Peter Chan in 1986, is Britain's premier Bonsai nursery. On its extensive seven and half acre landscaped site you can relax and enjoy all aspects of this fascinating hobby. It is literally a Bonsai heaven for anyone interested in the pastime. The sheer scale of the site and the range and selection of trees makes Herons a 'must visit' venue for both bonsai enthusiasts and gardeners alike. It isn't surprising why we continue to be Britain's Number 1 bonsai centre! You only have to look at the website to see what we have to offer, and when you visit us - you will know why we are still simply THE best in the UK.
Bonsai is cheap, I bought two plants at my local nursery, its getting close to winter and they have so many plants in the fall for 10 or 20 bucks that would normally cost 50-100 dollars. Decent size stuff you can work with. Other than that i dug up the rest in the woods and some stuff from seed. Tools, I am lucky enough to be a vintage tool reseller. Lots of these tools are just normal tools you can find dirt cheap at flea markets.
So very knowledgeable, thanks very much I just purchased my first Bonsai from a local garden centre and found your RU-vid channel whilst looking how to care for it.
Your Art is soooo beautiful! I love watching you pruning and wiring every second. I even think of trying myself, I have two Candidates for bonsaiing: An eight year old Pommegranade Plant that already is trimmed a lot into treeform (pommegranades are not trees but bushes) which i raised from seed (beautiful small leafs), and a Jade Tree which is 30 years+ old and almost too heavy to carry around.Thank you very much for the inspiration!
The largest recorded hailstone in the U.S. fell on July 23, 2010, in Vivian, South Dakota, measuring 8 inches in diameter and weighing 1.94 pounds. The prized stone is now on ice at the National Center of Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado.
An incredible collection of trees and the Karate Kid movie must have inspired an awful lots of young people in many ways, including me with both martial arts and bonsai.
Hi Peter, I've been having a bit of rain this past week, Would it be okay to leave my bonsai in the rain or do I have to move them? Kind regards Mitchell from Australia.
I fell in love with that Hornbeam immediately. There's something about it, it's just so picturesque. You could imagine it in a Gainsborough, not that I like Gainsborough, but it's got the elegance. I would love it in my garden!
Bonsai is definitely my hobbyist form of relaxation. All the other stresses from life are put aside to only focus on the tree. I love putting on my headphones and just sitting down to work on a tree leaving behind all other distractions.
I can't draw a direct parallel between bonsai and other type of arts. For me bonsai is like having a pet combined with the art. Because guitar or painting or dance doesn't need to be fed or watered regularly, your don't need to find responsible person to care for them while you are on vacation, or you don't need to periodically inspect them for pests. They can't develop desease or even die of unknown reason. Bonsai is calming and relaxing but it demands discipline and sometimes it can make you feel sad and disappointed like no other art do
Hello from Russia, mr. Peter Chan. I watch every video on your channel since pandemic isolation. Bonsai comnunity in our country definitely exists and there are some very good masters. But honestly we are still at the beginning of the journey. Not many people are involved, the exhibitions are small and there is no bonsai nurseries. But on the other hand this is a good time of opportunities for enthuziasts
I'm so thankful to Peter Chan for telling us about bonsai here on RU-vid. I've been doing it as soon as I found Mr. Chan on here years and years ago. I've found his videos and I've never looked back. I have no idea how many bonsai I have growing now. Hundreds. They're everywhere. It's brought a lot of different things into my life. Thank you Mr. Chan.
The incidence of historic weather events seem to be increasing around the world. You've had this historic hailstorm, and earlier this year the city where I live (that has the nickname of "Garden City") had the first ever derecho with hurricane force winds (peak gust clocked at 109mph) that resulted in over 600 trees either being broken in half, completely blown down or so damaged that they will have to be removed. (Arborists are going to be busy for a while. Roofers too. I have a friend whose roof has to be replaced after the storm and is now on a waitlist.) It was very localized just like your hailstorm, with cities/towns further to the north and south not affected. Hope you and your neighbors don't have any damage.

I never thought that in the south of England you could see something like this, it's something that happens in the Mediterranean area, more and more often unfortunately
