About
Report
Lee Verhorevoort first became interested in Bonsai as a teenager. Having kept Bonsai, initially as a hobby, Lee took a Saturday job on a Bonsai nursery in his early teens, which became permanent on completion of his schooling. When he was 18, Lee took the commendable step to live and work in Japan, gaining valuable, first-hand experience of growing and refining Bonsai trees.
Workshops
Report
Bonsai tuition can be very helpful in gaining hands on experience with all aspects of Bonsai. The group workshops, under the guidance of Lee, cater for the complete beginner through to the more advanced Bonsai enthusiast. Workshops are available on weekdays or at weekends. During the workshop there is an interval for lunch.
Maples
Report
The Maple family consists of many different species, these all come under the genus of Acer, this includes some common varieties such as the Sycamore tree "Acer Pseudoplatanus". The Japanese Maple family mainly comprises the Acer Palmatum (Mountain Maple) and Acer Japonicum species which the Japanese call "Momiji".
White Pines
Report
The Japanese White Pine family consists of many different sub varieties. This makes a big difference in how you should treat them for training into Bonsai. The most popularly used strains for Bonsai is what the Japanese call Yatsabusa, which means many buds. It has tight compact growth which is particularly easy to create dense foliage pads quickly.
Yews
Report
The Yew tree has become one of my favourite species of Bonsai to work upon. This is mainly due to the ease of styling and the dramatic contrast between the lush green of the foliage and the beautiful reddish bark that they purvey. TAXUS 'baccata' - "English Yew" - green leaves lighter in colour to its Japanese counterpart.
