Bonsai West

Howdy All,

Still being new to all this, my new source of Bonsai information is at Bonsai West in Littleton, MA. Have any of you been there before? What are your experiences and opinions of Bonsai West?

Thanks,
Anthony

Bonsai West seems a great place.

I just know that the lady, Loretta McDonald, who runs www.bonsaiconcepts.ca in Canada used to be the general manager for 4-5 years there at BonsaiWest. She's a good person with knowledge. My guess is that Bonsai West should be the same.

Anthony,
Bonsai West was the first bonsai shop that I went to. I was amazed at the quality of the trees they had available. This past spring I was again amazed at just how much wonderful stock Michael Levin was able to obtain from his buying trips. And speaking of Michael Levin... I feel he is a greatly under rated bonsai artist with a tremendous amount of knowledge that he is enthusiastic to freely share with his visitors, as do all the staff a Bonsai West. The prices are fair, the stock is great weather you are buying nursery stock, pre-bonsai, or specimen trees. Bonsai West is about a 15-20 minute drive from my house, so needles to say I spend a good amount of time there, and this summer I have visited the shop almost once a week. Free demonstrations and great sales make the visit even more worth while!

To sum it up, I am a BIG fan of Bonsai West and always feel welcome when I visit.

Hope this helps
Adam

When I lived in Maine I often travelled down through Massachusetts and usually scheduled a trip to Bonsai West if time allowed. This was the first bonsai nursery I ever visited, and I still remember the wonder I experienced five years ago when I walked around and looked at the trees. A very good place to buy trees, learn, or wander around and study the specimen trees.
