WierdOwl,

Boy are you in for a treat!

Bonsai by the Monastery is amazing. I've been there a half-dozen times - and even the time it was 102 out, I spent hours browsing through their wonderful collections of trees. More trees than you'll have any idea what to do with or how to look at. Show-ready trees, starter seedlings, and everything in between.

And trees aren't really even their forte, in my opinion. Their trees are good - really good - maybe even great - but their pots are what really impressed me. Be sure you look around in a lot of detail - not only are there all the pots upstairs and out in the main showrooms, but there's also a basement full of treasures. Not to mention that fact that the basement is a pleasent 15 degrees coolor this time of year.

Let us know what you think!
