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.
20/02/10 Special Offer, spend £60.00 or more on our Japanese Bonsai Tools online and as well as Free worldwide Shipping, during March you will receive a Free Japanese Transplanting Sickle (normally £14.99 and the best tool ever for getting Bonsai out of a bellied pot without breaking it). Don't worry, although it won't show up in your cart we will add it to your order for you before posting.
14/02/10 We will now have a stand at the Joy of Bonsai 10, (click link for details) Bath on the 20th and 21st March, probably the best Bonsai show in the U.K. If there is anything you would like us to take please let us know as soon as possible.
10/02/10 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.
07/02/10 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.
03/02/10 A massive delivery of Bonsai pots arrived today
along with Wire, Figures and Tools that we had ran out of, we should have
something for just about everyone here now, well other than the guy that wanted
a Yamadori Japanese White Pine with a 20" trunk for £5.00 but Collette said join
the queue and she is in front.
Give Collette a ring on 023 8049 5729 for more details.
14/12/09 We now have some Topiary Buxus and Yew in stock, in Ball, Spiral,
Cube and Conical shapes, these normally retail at anything up to £349 elsewhere,
from us they start at just £35.00 per pair. Only a very few left.
15/06/09 We were informed last night that Collette's
"Osakasuki" Satsuki Azalea was voted by the public as best tree in show at the
National Satsuki exhibition at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens over the weekend, our thanks to all that voted
for it and to Paul and Brenda Eslinger for taking it up there for her.

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.
27/01/09 After an inspection by the Department of the Environment, Farming and Rural Affairs last week we have finally got the news that we have no problems here at all, they took away various soil samples etc to test and have told us they can find nothing at all wrong with any of our Bonsai or any of the soil samples they took and have given us a clean bill of health.
We have been asked by Wessex Bonsai Society
to hold a sales Table at four of their meetings per year one of which
Collette will be giving a talk and demonstration, if you would like anything in
particular taken to the meetings please let us know well beforehand, the dates
are on the 2010 events page.
For those who are not members and do not know where it is, the address is,
Kinson Community Centre, Pelhams Park, Millhams Road, Bournemouth. BH10 7LH.
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 £4.99 (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.
