Bonsai Garden
There is nothing more inspiring for the bonsai enthusiast than to spend time visiting the bonsai garden of a renowned bonsai artist.
In the past that would have meant travelling to the bonsai garden, walking around and experiencing the beauty of the bonsai trees first hand. As a result only a select few were able to see the trees. Nowadays, with the development of technology and the internet, many more of us can enjoy the experience of viewing personal bonsai collections.
I highly recommend the website of Walter Pall – a world renowned bonsai artist. Walter lives near Munich in Germany and has been growing bonsai trees for 30 years. In his bonsai garden he has about one thousand trees at different stages of development, with a similar number of hand made bonsai pots.
He has lectured on bonsai and demonstrated different techniques at workshops in many parts of the world. Anyone who attends his lectures cannot fail to be impressed by his knowledge, creative flair and his infectious enthusiasm for bonsai trees.
His bonsai garden is truly awe inspiring. His emphasis is not on the rules of bonsai but on allowing natural shapes and creativity to influence the designs of his trees. From his award winning Rocky Mountain Juniper to his beautiful deciduous bonsai trees you see the handiwork of someone at one with nature.
Walter is also a superb photographer and his website is full of amazing photos of his bonsai garden where you can follow the changes that occur throughout the seasons. For those who can travel, he is happy to welcome visitors to see his bonsai collection.

There is a danger for bonsai enthusiasts when looking at such websites. That is to become disheartened and to think that you can never achieve anything like that. I empathise! But please take heart – you can grow beautiful bonsai trees in ones and twos without having 30 years experience!
