My girlfriend and I have recently come back from Japan, while we were over the we visited a beautiful Bonsai village with some wonderful gardens, I took alittle GoPro video of one of the gardens that had some amazing tree's. Hope you enjoy the footage

just this last weekend, we visited a Garden where my girlfriend used to help out and we picked up this fantastic tree. I had seen it about 12 months ago and loved it, saw it again and had to buy it
Enjoy

Thanks Meanstreak. Inspirational.
Almost sensory overload. Having seen bonsai in Japan, they certainly know how to display their trees.
Cheers

Hey Pearcy,
took us alittle over an hour to get there, very basic trip
well worth it, there are maps of Omiya when you get there, we basically caught the train, and then walked the day, weather was beauitful, and such a great place
