People don't realize the amount of work and dedication it takes to run a bonsai nursery at this level. Props to you Bjorn on your hard earned success.

[@kristopherwolf3811]

Suns out guns out baby!!!

[@whereswalt2716]

Tom platz ! Ronnie ! Ed Coan! Chad Wesley Smith! Mark "Smelly" Bell 🔔 yo if you could ever collaborate with any of these guys I feel like it would be great content!

[@dracokaiser]

Bodybuilding & bonsai. Great combo. We have similar weather in Bloomington Indiana. Spring summer and fall here Almost reminds me of Japan.

[@hagakuretv]

Awesome, I missed this kinda vlogs. Watched the Japan vlogs like 8 times. Hope one day you can visit your old nursery. Bonsai buying trip volume two. Damn man this video was epic.

[@blubblab5201]

Wee need some of that heavy rain hear in Europe plz send some 😢😢 oure lakes and rivers are disappearing

[@craighunter3273]

Outstanding. That was a very special video with you speaking from your heart. All those that watch your videos feel they are silent and invisible members of your extended bonsai family. What a leader. Well done old chap

[@curtisnt]

Well said truths

[@davidmcgillivray5205]

Great cinematography and a beautiful nursery. I have been watching your videos for some time now and to see what you have made from scratch is amazing.

[@raynorris135]

Bjorn your bonsai garden has become magnificent. So nice to see Luna growing up with family all around her. It’s a great life. Thanks for sharing. Love the workout routine. 😎

[@PNWBonsai]

Its the SHORT Shorts for me. Are those Nippon Bonsai Association approved?

[@TheBonsaiGarden]

What a beautiful film. ❤️🙏

[@2eane]

I've got a question on sanding bark of trees in general. How much do you sand it down, and any infection risks to the tree is doing so? Any tips around sanding would be useful. Thanks bjorn

[@robertobreglia9224]

Hi Bjorn,your garden is really awesome and all trees are cared for in the best way! Very compliments also for your beautiful family...you are a great professional and i admire you so much!👍👍👍👍👍

[@LessTalkMoreDelicious]

Dang... really awesome anamorphic footage. The trees and scenery w all the wood fences/barrels is so nice. ...that plus a sweaty dirty Bjorn makes it like an old Indy Jones film, haha.

[@karenstanislaw8912]

The athleticism of delicasy .

[@dianacre]

The artistry in this video is incredible. Thank you for all you do Bjorn!

[@nuri-garden]

Everything looks like Japanese bonsai garden except for meals and Gym.

[@my_bonsai_and_koi]

A profession that becomes a daily activity is an infinite gift of joy!

[@naturgeist]

🙏

[@jballenger9240]

Imagine the work can be meditative at times. 🧘🏻🧘🏼🧘🏼‍♂️🧘🏻‍♂️

[@tofuroshi]

Very nice, maybe one day you could give a tour of your growing area with unfinished pre bonsai, assuming you have something like that.

[@stephenkoebcke9070]

It's bad enough our female better halves, love how your trees look better than ours, NOW, we have to worry about our bodies. Thanks Bjorn. 🤣Great vid, garden, "job" and family . Be happy and healthy always. Steve.

[@kylemoilanen40]

I was really inspired by this video to pursue creating bonsai more professionally, do you have any advice for going forward?

[@restu007]

caring for and maintaining bonsai is a very fun job and you will never feel bored, good job, brother, greetings from Indonesian bonsai lovers

[@ddeguia4]

OMG!! Your passion for the art of bonsai is so amazing.... and to live it 365 days out of the year is awesome! Props to you and all your hard work for bringing the world of bonsai to the states! Next time, put on a shirt... so distracting... NOT!! ..... LOL!!

[@alexisfaitdubonsai]

How lucky you are to be able to live as bonsai professional, but you worked hard to get there, congratulations! 👍

[@keynanvlogs8798]

I'm from Indonesia, beautiful bonsai, please see the plants in Indonesia

[@happybonsai648]

I am a fan of yours. I can feel the passion and sincerity. Keep up the good work.

[@Foxtrot1967]

Bless you Bjorn. May the fruits of your passion & labor serve you and your family well.

[@Maunkwew]

Pengambilan filmnya keren 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

[@gamer1672]

I'm going to say it.Your skills at caring for and styling trees man are off the charts.you have to be one of the best in the world! Congrats!

[@yusefsvacina9389]

Major props to your cinematography and editing team. Fantastic work! So happy to see your family growing and you're doing so well. The nursery looks amazing.

[@harrietb2141]

Wonderful garden with amazing bonsai trees😍

[@brianj959]

Fantastic video, Bjorn. These are getting so good now, you could take a side job in the movie industry! But also, full credit to you for you work and business success. Your bonsai skill is unquestioned, but as I’ve seen you say in another video, the business side of it is at least 50%, not just the financial aspects, but credit too for acknowledging the importance of proper OHS in a heavy manual labour line of work. The trees are looking truly splendid if you had a recent bout of almost drought-like conditions, green and luscious, not a single brown leaf anywhere!

[@IntrinsicRoots]

No question about it Bjorn, being able to make a living off the Art you create through every tree you style is beyond a blessing. And you earned it in every sense of the word, you’re a true artist and an inspiration to us all🥂

[@bushidoblues9302]

Why are all your podcasts deleted? I liked those.

[@bonsaihigh]

Beautiful video as always. I also got covid and I’m on my 8th day right now so I know exactly what you mean about spending time in the garden. Wish your great health and can’t wait for the next video!.

[@andygrontkowski5447]

The videography is so artistic and truly shows off the beauty of your work with nature. Very Ansel Adamesque. Love the video.

[@andygrontkowski5447]

That big strawberry blond bonsai master was a distraction though... Lol

[@victortaboada2058]

Wonderful behind the scenes! Congrats to you Bjorn!

[@samhenzler1596]

Step one to bonsai training: LIFT WEIGHTS 💪🏼 🏋️‍♀️

[@QuiniBonsai]

Un saludo maestro, como me gustaría saber inglés para escuchar todo lo que dices y explicas , si no falla nada voy a poder verte trabajar en directo en noviembre, eres mi ídolo, gracias por todo lo que haces por el bonsái.

[@LinusCello75]

You should be in a future episode of GardenFit. To complement the weights, they’ll probably recommend stretching (yoga/Pilates)

[@gurkhasbonsai.7093]

Legend master lots of love from Nepal

[@jacktaylor6190]

Stunning garden!

[@jamesvine2563]

I stumbled upon your account this morning, 15 videos later I’m drawing up plans for a new garden complete with my own Bonsai

[@andyt.80]

Tom Platz & Ronnie Coleman - best choice to build some muscle. Best wishes from Germany.

[@GraftingTactick]

Loved it🌱

[@selucks]

You’ve constructed a really beautiful life for yourself 🌳

[@trt7979]

Great vid. Love the slow mo shots. Reminds me of some of yours from when you lived in Japan. Just wondering why you do not tie your trees down to the bench like they do in Japan. I am guessing that in Japan it is for earthquakes but I imagine it would prevent wind from toppling the trees as well. Most of mine are on the ground but I have some rascally trash pandas that I would worry about if mine were up high. Anyways thanks for all the great content.

[@estebanjc1]

Wowwww! Great trees.. Great family.. great work. Thanks for sharing with us. Big hug my Friend. Like 186.

[@curtisnt]

AMAZING vid reminds me of your old Vlogs from Japan. Cant wait to see a tree from Eisei- En in real life. One day :)

[@Coolinereeftank]

Nice video Bjorn, very much from the heart, I like that

This is my absolute favorite video you have done especially the end with your daughter. Happy to see you are/have recovered well from Covid. No doubt being with your trees in the garden have contributed significantly to your wellness. Thank you for a lovely video. Ever thought of doing one of your own collection? PS. You want to feel brutal hot summer, come to the Bahamas in August😅
