The only real bonsai nursery that I know of (if there are others, I would
love to know!) in the Hampton roads area is Park's Bonsai Farm which sits
off U.S. 58 in Suffolk (~1 hr from Va Beach). I haven't been there myself,
but the local paper ran a story about it not too long ago. Apparently they
had quite a bit of damage still from Isabel last fall. If you do make it
out there, I'd love to hear what you find!

I've often helped the Parks out. They had two of three large greenhouses flattened due to snow. Some friends and I went in there to rescue most of the trees. We're just about done removing the debris but don't have much time to get out there.

The address is 8184 S. Quay Road, Suffolk, VA 23437.

Direct phone is 757-657-9804

They are both Korean and may be difficult to understand over the phone...

They're great folks and have had a rough time over the last few years. They maintain not only the nurseries but a vegetable and fruit producing farm which I think brings in most of their income.

I just got done putting up a splash page for their website. I expect it to be expanded later when my wife allows me the time:
www.parksbonsai.com.

If you have any questions, please let me know.
