Trip to Chikugo-En - So. Cal.

jersanct

Well, I arrived in LA today armed with a list of three bonsai nurseries to try, and it looks like I was extremely lucky that Gary at Chikugo-en was the first to answer the phone.

I stayed for a couple of hours and wish I could have stayed for a couple more, but I had been tempted out of enough money already. Two beautiful shohin pots and a large oval pot came with me, and I will be having one of their fine Shimapku junipers delivered to me, after I finally managed to select just one out of the dozens available.

Gary and the ladies I assumed (possibly mistakenly) to be his mother and his daughter all were extremely helpful, and I certainly will be visiting any other time I happen to be in LA.

Thanks to everyone on BonsaiTalk for sending me in their direction.

Best wishes,

Chris
