AusBonsai

I was up in Sydney for a day last month, we stayed at a motel called Checkers, and what a coincidence - there was a bonsai nursery right next door Well when missus said she needed to sleep in after all the driving we'd just done I said "no worries, I'll just go for a walk", well I didn't have to walk to far at all

Bonsai Art - Imperial Bonsai Nursery - at Terry Hills run by the Bennett's is great place to go! had a long chat with both Megumi and Alex who made time to show me their personal collection (wow) and the workshop sapce, their range of Japanese pots is fantastic - from special Tokoname and the like inside, to a whole range of others - all fairly unique (and no chinese crap ) I couldn't choose just one, so I walked away with about ten shohin/mame sized pots to accompany me on my travels back home. Their Japanese garden/pond is beautiful too! well worth the visit!

I also believe they are involved with the Bonsai Society of Sydney annual exhibition coming up too, on display at Checkers on the weekend of 17-18th August 2013

Haha, yeah they some nice specimens for sale. Their private collection is simply stunning. Personally I feel the Ray Nesci nursery has more variety to offer, but it is still a great place to visit. I just visited Megumi about 3 months ago, and bought 6 bonsai starters from her and some pots. She is very nice, and just like Ray, is more than happy to talk and give you advice.

Here's some of the little beauties that haven't been potted up yet ...
