Bonsai Places of Interest - Vic & ACT

[Dutchie_Boy]

I will be heading down to Melbourne for a couple weeks and spending some time in the ACT.

If you know of any bonsai areas that you would recommend I drop in to have a look at I would appreciate your inputs.

Cheers

The National Bonsai and Penjing is located in Canberra. Lindsay Farr has his nursery in Hawthorn, plus a few others Graig 60 has his in the Dandanongs. If you pm any of them I am sure they will welcome you.

The collection is closed at the moment while they dismantle Floriade. If you Pm Grant or Leigh I am sure they can tell you when it is open a gain.

Collectors corner on springvale rd has a substantial collection of display trees.
There is a couple of bonsai nurseries here in the dandenong ranges, "the imagination tree" and "A to Z bonsai"
Another good one is "Bonsai art".
My nursery is not a bonsai nursery but if you take the trouble to get up here and introduce yourself I will show you my collection.

G'day Dutch,

We have a thread that lists the nurseries in Vic. You can view it HERE. In ACT there is Leigh's nursery called Ledanta (only open by appointment and The National Bonsai and Penjing Collection.

Have fun and don't forget to take lots of pictures to share with us all.

Regards,
Steven

Thanks for the replies. I will drop some PMs just before leaving. It will be good to see what you guys are up to down south.
