Melbourne bonsai gardens / nurseries near the CBD?
Hi all,
My work is sending me to Melbourne this Friday and due to flight times, my flight home (to Adelaide) won't be leaving until 5:30pm. Can anyone recommend a bonsai garden / nursery / Exhibition near the CBD area (or an easy tram ride) I can kill some time in?

Check out the directory, lists them all on google maps, so you can see what is closest
Just filter it to bonsai nurseries in VIC and you're laughing

It's more of a 'can't be arsed paying to see it' kind of thing, rather than 'can't be arsed travelling there'dandybonsai wrote:Tram also stops at back door of zoo,worth a visit.

They probably only have about 15 trees in the window stand visible. With the exception of 1 or 2 they were reasonably priced and well presented though. Mini Mart of the corner of Dorcas and Wells Streets. Trees tagged and I assume supplied by 'bonsai sensation'. From about $25 through to a $500 Banyan.
