It was in 1985 when a friend gave me a book on Bonsai from the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens. After going through the pages I was amazed at the artistry and the age of these wonderful trees.

That's all it took to spark my interest. I could combine art and horticulture to acheive timeless treasures. As my passion grew so did my collection, I visited nurseries and scoured the countryside to find potential materials.Many Bonsai growers in the area assisted in expanding my knowledge and my love for this art.

Today I wish to share this knowledge and provide quality bonsai materials to the Ottawa area. We invite you to come visit our three greenhouses of exotic and native Bonsai.
