Our Nursery:
We're
passionate about Bonsai,
and it shows!
Bonsai West has the
most extensive collection of
specimen Bonsai outside of
Japan, featuring the work of American
Bonsai artists such as Mr
and Mrs Hatanaka, Mr Yamasaki,
Roy Nagatoshi, Nick Lenz, Mr
Ishii, Guy Guidry, Colin Lewis,
Jim Smith and Michael Levin -
as well as trees
styled by artists in Japan, Korea,
and China.
Bonsai West has become a destination for bonsai lovers from throughout the world. You can take our online tour to give you a first impression, but why not come out and visit us yourselves: you'll find it well worth your while.
B
onsai for everyone:
not just the collector!
At Bonsai
West, you'll find thousands
of finished bonsai as
well as stock
plants for creating
your own bonsai (or even to use
as great landscaping material)
in every price range.
Beginner
trees start
at as little as $25 and
go up from there.
We
carry a huge selection of starter
or pre-bonsai material, as well
as a complete line of tools, thousands
of pots (including handcrafted and
antique containers), soil
mixes,
fertilizers, books and anything
else that you might need for your
hobby.
We specialize in both indoor
and outdoor bonsai.
Most
of our trees for sale during this
time of year are well suited for
growing indoors. We encourage our
customers to buy the tree they love
and then learn how to take care
of it.
Bonsai isn’t difficult
if you learn the basics early on!
Our
Greenhouses are open
year round, seven days a week,
and our tropical Bonsai thrive
even in a New England winter.
Our exciting Classes are
geared toward teaching beginners
to become proficient in the art
- but if you are looking for
the next step in your hobby,
we're sure to have a workshop
or master class just for you!
For over 25 years, we have been
entirely committed to teaching the
art of Bonsai and making sure that
our customers and friends get all
the help they need in furthering
their hobby.
Several times a year,
we bring in recognized artists to
lecture and give master classes.
Our "Introduction
to..." classes are a revolutionary concept in teaching
and learning the hobby.
Our Outdoor
Garden is open
April through November (take
a tour!)and is the showcase
for our famous collection
of specimen bonsai on display.
Many of these trees come from
famous bonsai artists from
around the world and several
of our trees are over 100
years old.
Our Services include
pruning, transplanting,
babysitting while you're
on vacation, winter
boarding as well as a bonsai
hospital.
Possibly the most valuable service
we offer is sharing our knowledge
and enthusiasm.
Our Staff consists
of
Mike Sgariglia, Kelly Hunter, Adam
Berman, and
Michael
Levin.
All of us
are available to answer your
questions or concerns at any
time.
We all love our trees and
love teaching so questions get
answered in a simple demystified
manner.
Michael is the founder
and driving force behind Bonsai
West.
A competent bonsai artist
as well, he always sees
himself as a perpetual student
of bonsai and will happily share
his knowledge with everyone.
Michael is one of a handful of
early pioneers who set out to
introduce bonsai to the American
mainstream before most people
knew what bonsai were - and Bonsai
West has survived and grown for
a quarter century.
Mike is the Production Manager and more often than not you will see him tending the trees, potting pruning and watering.
Mike is a gifted nurseryman whose magic touch is a primary reason that our trees are so healthy.
Adam is our bookkeeper and our biggest fan. He is usually behind the scenes in the office but you can always meet him at our spring and fall open houses when he doubles as our food caterer.
We're located on
two acres of New England farmland,
in Littleton,
Mass, right on Route 2A.
A 300-year-old farm
house overlooks our outdoor bonsai
garden and gallery, our
five greenhouses and teaching/demonstration
areas.
We're always happy to answer your questions and help you in any way we can!
