Bonsai West
Bonsai West is a bonsai nursery and gallery located on a 300-year-old New England farm at 100 Great Road in Littleton, MA. It is owned and operated by Michael Levin. Michael is an accomplished artist and teacher on his own, however, several times a year he invites outside lecturers and guest artists to his nursery. The staff is helpful and knowledgable.

Bonsai West sells bonsai in every stage of development, pots, soil, fertilizers, tools, books, magazines, etc. In addition, Bonsai West provides several services to the bonsai enthusiast:
Classes
Treesitting
Boarding
Hospital Services
Restyling and wiring
Winter Boarding

Colin Lewis is an "artist in residence" at Bonsai West and has set-up a workshop on the premises.

The greenhouses and gardens provide an enchanting experience and it is very easy to pass several enjoyable hours with the trees.
