Just thought I should post a link in case any members don't know about the great Movies Lindsay Farr has online.
http://www.bonsaifarm.tv/

I've had those for a long time soltan. The word is that more are on their way but we're still waiting eh? I was knocked out by the mountain shots I remember and of course very pleased to see Kimura san.

I met Lindsay at this nursery in Melbourne last year, nice bloke and quite a character. Pretty generous of him to give those movies away like does. His nursery is worth a look too if you find yourself in the area. Big, pricey stuff up the front as you come in, but if you're cheap like me head out the back!

He has been promising a second series for quite some time but since he basically donates his time and money to the cause it's hard to get too upset if he's a little slow.

Hi Guys, I did not know of these videos at all.I guess that's why I love this forum so much. What I would like to know is: I downloaded Episode 1 from Series 1. Am I assuming that what's shown here is a preview/teaser of what you would get if you purchased it?

A lot of episodes on YouTube...

Hey Jester, ive downloaded all ep's, im pretty sure these are what u would get on the dvds.
u might get a few extras on the dvd's but the downloads are all good. check them all out.
strawbs.

Hi Jester
Keep searching the site, there are a couple of directories full of videos in addition to the World of Bonsai movies

The DVD's contain some additional material, but the main impact is the graphics of the DVD are movie quality in comparison.

Even though I live in NSW, Lindsay generously donated information, time and assistance from afar to our local club several years ago. He never asked for any commendation or credit.
Some people have their opinion about him which is their choice and whilst I only met him once when I went to Melbourne it was a real pleasure.

An outgoing but contrastingly quiet man.
Do some research on him and you will find that he has a impressive past life - pre Bonsai world.

I think we are lucky that many of the professionals in Australia give more to our art than they receive in return

it makes me druel i know im new to this but the asperation of some of the trees in these little clips make me walk outside at night and look at me trees with a tourch exelent stuff

THanks guys for all the info on these videos. Cheers

My understanding was that the DVDs were just a better quality version of the movies you can download for free on the site. I asked Lindsay about copying them onto CD for the members of our club who didn't have decent internet connections. He said it was fine so long as I didn't charge any money. That was before he brought out the DVDs though so I'm not sure if that's still his view?

Just as a side note, someone told me that the whole series has been shown on pay TV at some point. No idea if it's true?

I am pretty sure it was just the original series, not the World of Bonsai series that was shown on pay tv about 4 or 5 years ago i think.

I really enjoyed watching the world of bonsai series especially the pottery episodes.

OMG these Azeleas are sooo big and nice and awesome
Y DONT MY ONES LOOK THAT NICE

thanks for posting this thread ive been inspired

The second series is out and the second episode is now online. I am looking forward to the new DVD set and hope there is a combined deal
