This is where we'll announce the most recent news on what is happening here or where we will be at short notice, so check back often.
29/08/10 We would like you all to meet our two new members of staff here at Southampton, brother and sister Max and Shelley, our 11 week old German Shepherds that spend most of their waking hours playing in amongst the pots, luckily for us they like to sleep a fair bit too giving us a chance to get on with some work.
Max the black and tan one is already learning to prune bonsai, unfortunately he has no idea of style yet but I am sure he will get there eventually, Shelley the blonde is by no means dumb, she is by far and away the brains of the two and lets Max know by taking his toys and hiding them at every opportunity.

28/08/10 Just arrived a delivery of Medium and Large Japanese White Pines, Medium and Large Chinese Junipers, a nice Needle Juniper, a very nice Japanese Yew along with a selection other Bonsai at our usual very reasonable prices.
Photos of some of them are now on the Bonsai for Sale page of the website, in the meantime if you are interested I would advise giving Collette a ring on 023 8049 5729 asap as I do not think these trees will be here for very long.
22/08/10 New photos have now been added to the Bonsai for Sale page of the website, we will add more just as soon as we can as they represent just a very small selection of what we have in stock.
29/07/10 Just arrived, a complete private collection of Bonsai, consisting of lots of large maples as well as a good number of native British trees and loads of pots, give Collette a ring on 023 8049 5729 for details as we do not have time to take any photos at the moment due to being too busy.
We also have Gift Vouchers available here at the nursery in amounts of £10.00, £20.00, £50.00 and £100.00, these can be used for absolutely anything we have here including Bonsai lessons with Collette, anything the recipient does not use on their visit will be held in credit for them. These gift vouchers cannot be used online.
Gift Vouchers now available in amounts from £5.00 to £500, on the Japanese Tools page, they can be emailed or printed and posted to the recipient but currently can only be used online for items we sell mail order. For security the recipient must have a PayPal account to redeem them.
Japanese Bonsai Turntables in either
40cm x 30cm Rectangle @ £48.00 or 30cm Round @ £38.00, they are a sturdy piece
of kit, weighing in at 4.3 kilo's and made from resin with quality roller
bearings, they both have a sturdy 30cm circular base with small feet.
By the look of them they should last a lifetime, Collette is now using one
herself so we will see how they stand up to professional abuse as it's bound to
get covered in soil and watered regularly.
Chinese Bonsai Turn Tables now back in stock,
after searching for some time we have been able to locate more turn tables the
same as those we use here, nothing fancy but do exactly as they are meant to do
and will not rust no matter how often you accidentally water it.
Ours are left
outside all year round and have been for years without a problem, £4.99.
We have hundreds and hundreds of used Chinese pots here from 10cm up to 40cm and we need to clear them out to make way for new ones, any size or shape are just £1.00, (collection only) ideal as training pots and about the same price as plastic ones.
Selection of 15cm (6") Chinese pots all £1.00 each, click photo for larger
image.
Collette is now taking people for 1 to 1
lessons on all aspects of Bonsai at a very reasonable £15.00 per hour, you can
either bring along your own trees to work on or we always have stock here
needing work for you to use instead.
Collette has taught some of the "experts" most of what they now know as well as
quite
a few of the current Bonsai
dealers in the UK, she has also appeared on BBC television, local radio, in
magazines and various other publications.
Bonsai Collette has worked on have been exhibited and sold for vast sums of
money in Europe, and they have been of a standard high enough to be awarded a
Large Gold Medal at every show we have exhibited at this year, as well as at
least three best overall displays in show, they have also been loaned to
the BBC as well as other film production companies.
And finally a comment from a lady having lessons already, "I have learnt more in
two hours with Collette than I did in the six months (including a week long
course for £600+) I did at a local
school of bonsai."
To book please give Collette a ring on 02380 495729
Remember our Bonsai come from the same importers as about 95% of the dealers in the U.K. But are only about 50% of the price.
I have been told that we only have expensive Bonsai on the web site, and that this puts a lot of people off, well our trees actually start at about £5.99 (for a real Bonsai, not a seed kit or a twig in a pot), so we have something for everyone. On the other hand don't be put off by the low prices of our specimen trees, these come from the same importers as used by about 95% of all Bonsai dealers in this country, we all pay the same for them, we sell more so can keep the prices low.
