Always absolutely fascinating to have a walkthrough of other people’s bonsai benches with commentary and explanations as to the process or the history of the trees. 👍
Over the years you have had some truly remarkable videos. Not least of which are your interviews/tours. This is my walk away favorite. It is instructive and enjoyable on so many levels. I have watched it three times already and see/hear new things each time. I plan to save it and go back to it repeatedly. Really, really, really well done. Thank you, Nigel.
Just rewatching this video - David has some really nice trees, i love hearing knowledgable people chatting about their hobby and hearing the enthusiasm for what they are doing coming through - Thank you Nigel and David!!
Wow! A man after my own heart, he said exactly what I've always said. If you have too few trees you can bonsai them to death so you have to get as many as you can fit in your yard. That's what I tell my wife.
Hi Nigel, I just wanted to thank you for asking about how he got started. David is so enthusiastic about his bonsai but he is far more fascinating to be able to create such wonderful bonsai than the bonsai on there own. And I think you were trying to cultivate that in that question.
The dialogue with your friend and the collection of trees was amazing. Would be incredible if you could do this a little more often.. & it seems like the guys you visit love having you over (:
That japanese black pine in the deiju pot is just amazing!!! The mugo pine he said took a decade is beautiful...grafted juniper is so cool!!! His backyard also has a wonderful overall feel... I'm sort of in love with the fesl of the back yard! I hope he enjoys it :)
Excellent videos a couple broken unwritten rules but that’s what makes this garden different and exited to watch.. One thing that really caught my attention besides the trees was the pots, they’re beautiful and interesting, Thanks again for the video..
A fascinating walk through. Thank you Nigel for taking us along to David's back yard, a most an uncommon back yard filled with awesome displays off Bonsai creations. It is inspiring to see what can be accomplished. At the very least creating with love, a good try.
Great video as always Nigel! These "visit another bonsai enthusiast"- videos are really interesting. As a fairly new potter it makes me so happy to see people in Canada having/using pots from my home country Sweden. It makes me hopeful that some of my pots one day makes it there too. Kind regards
What an awesome collection. That big cascading thuja looks like the big brother of yours! A very enjoyable 40 minutes with lots to dream and plan about . . .
Hello from Lakeland FL. I love these tours showing others trees, plants. It is a true experience and see how others cultivate. Thanks and let's go out and show us more of Canada.
Great trees in this video! I was excited to see some birch , beech, and quaking Aspen trees in this collection. I was thinking about starting these three species from seed so I have plenty of time to refine my skills a bit more. Great video Nigel, keep up the great work!
That was neat to see! I was surprised to see tea!!! We have wild tea plants all over here, I used to pick and dry my own tea when I was younger and had more time.
What a beautiful collection David has, that was a pleasure to see. Of course he won the bonsai contest in Toronto. Mister Saunders, all the years i have been following you, i never have seen you grafting a tree. Do you have a special reason for that ? Grtz from Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Beautiful collection! Nigel, what is the music that was being played at the beginning of the video; it was also in your last larch forest video, its very soothing
well, now you've done it. now i'm off to a nursery to get about 50 different species i'd never considered before. XD i told myself i don't have room but last week i got sucked into a Canadian Tire somehow and came out with a boxwood that was on sale for 10 bucks. who knows how these things happen??
