Herons Bonsai Nursery Tour

[@peterchan3100]

Sorry - I made an inaccurate statement at 16.04. I called that Red Maple as a Deshojo - That tree is in fact a Seigen.

[@les471]

I'm wondering, if you have brazilian raintrees? And if so, is it possible for you to make a video about it? Thank you

[@rg86er]

Mr Chan, I hereby forgive you!

[@GraeMatterz]

Hello Peter, Thank you so much for doing a tour of your nursery for all of us shut-ins! I have a question about the Tridents. Is it possible the location of the leafing Trident is because it is somewhat sheltered by the white screen wall, which may also provide some reflection of sun back onto the tree, so that it is warmed more than the other Tridents? Also, off topic: You have a lot of planes flying overhead. Are you in the flight path of Heathrow Airport? Thank you again. Be well!

[@MB07V]

Thanks Peter! Take care and stay safe!

[@Urlhere]

I could spend all day just looking at all of them. A master of your craft.

[@steveanacorteswa3979]

Thank you for the wonderful stroll Peter, it's 5am and very dark, sipping my coffee and watching your trees is very calming, brought my trees out of the poly tunnel, had a hail storm but lucky not too strong, but I sat out with a plastic tarp and got wet just in case, all my maples are going into leaves except the couple of small tridents, I am guessing they are later. Enjoy spring and thanks again for a great video, I always learn something.

[@peterchan3100]

Are you Locked down where you are?

[@chrismorton3064]

Thanks for the videos Peter, Nice to see someone with a positive attitude :)

[@peterchan3100]

I like to think that I am always Positive

Thank you - hope your parents are OK. Keep praying please.

[@beckyshumate260]

Dear Peter, Thank you I have never traveled outside the USA. Seeing your nursery in spring glory is inspiring to me. I purchased a Bonsai book and fell in love with the art and am currently waiting to dig some of our cedar trees from local area to transform in bonsai. Thank you again, blessed be

[@maryshoemaker7593]

[@ginadavis174]

So glad to hear you are doing well with the nursery and are keeping healthy in yourselves. Thank. You for this tour of your lovely bonsai.

[@DocTheElder]

I stand in awe of how wonderful the match of skill, artistry, years of experience, dedication and care bring about master-crafted works of art working with nature. Inspiring me to try some simple element of the craft myself...a beginner. Thank you kindly!

Everybody is a Grasshopper but Peter

[@picciafoobar]

"touch wood!" He's surrounded by trees but searches for a wooden wall 😂. Anyway, thanks for these beautiful tours!

[@Eza_yuta]

What is the meaning of touch wood?

[@jt5029]

@@Eza_yuta it's a superstition / old wives tail that you touch a piece of wood for good luck, before you make a statement where you could jinx yourself I. E. "we are in good health" say knock on wood for good luck or so we don't jinx ourselves and get the opposite desire of said statement

[@Eza_yuta]

@@jt5029 Thank you for your explanation!

[@G32dwm]

@@Eza_yuta In ancient Greece, people, when faced with difficult times in their lives, would walk through the woods and mimic their problems by hitting the tree trunks to be heard by the "nymphs", who could help them when they heard the problem. It was transferred to the Romans with the touch and over the years it has been carried to this day. Here in Greece we still maintain the habit of hitting the wood when we refer to difficult or bad situations.

[@suniaboneham]

Lovely tour of your nursery on what was my birthday, 16th March. Those pink blossoms behind you at the beginning are spectacular. Stay safe everyone.

I'm pretty sure all this were made with many years of hard work and dedication. Thank you very much for showing us your unique space and work. Congratulations Peter Chan.

[@SouthGlass]

To work there, walking all day through those bonsai benches, must be the dream job

[@WillieBeeman23]

The Fuji cherry at 6min23!! Absolutely breath taking, perfect pot I watched the sequence on this tree 10 times. Here in Canada there’s a tremendous growth in interest for Bonsai, it must be so rewarded for you dear Peter to see how bonsai are gaining in popularity!! I’m sure it will explode following next year Olympics in Tokyo! Love & Grattitude for your passion

[@bogotogo2786]

Magnificent video. If I have to make one critique, it is that I AM NOT THERE. I will have to visit someday

[@ronjudd3477]

Thank u Peter..great to have a walk around the nursery as I am stuck at home on lock down in NEW Zealand.. keep them coming 😊

[@alphadog4802]

[@Nizzon.]

Loss of words... amazing. I would visit this nursery all the time if I lived close to it. :D

[@christelcherville7065]

Wonderfull vidéo ! With superbes trees ! Thank a lot for your partage I love to visit your nursery... But... I'm in France

[@peterchan3100]

May be when the Corona is over - do make a visit. France is not that far.

[@les471]

Imma come too

[@alexchasse1783]

Thank You Peter and others at Herons Bonsai for making the time to record and post all these videos about your craft. I am from Maine, USA and have been interested in bonsai for a while. After finding some of your tutorial videos on care, styling, and potting techniques you have inspired me to start one of my own. These are certainly weird and difficult times but I have found it calming to watch your videos. It certainly helps to have something to tend to while sequestered away indoors. I send you my best wishes in these times.

[@keithdouglass3618]

thanks for the walk. also your kind heart to share your garden at this time. you give me and others joy to see you in your living environment. Keith Australia .

[@joanscott9323]

Thank you, Peter, for another perfect video. Just what the doctor ordered in so many ways!!! It calms and relaxes our nerves, as it engages our minds to focus on timeless and good things. You do so much good, even more than you can realize!! The walk-through of the plants also gives us another lesson in discernment of bonsai and the vast array of knowledge to be absorbed. Please continue your videos in whatever vein you feel best. I love the final view, as well, of your trees across the beautiful pond. Having watched the video of trimming those trees, it’s great to also see the distant view of how your nursery garden views all compliment each other!! The waterside marigolds to the beautiful trees. Each has it’s own place, but contributes to the whole. Also loved the peek of the stones at the beginning of video with your dry garden. Would love to know your thought process of these particular stones in this placement. Your life is such a wealth of information and wisdom and inspiration for us all! You are the personification of a “young gardener”!

[@peterchan3100]

Thank you Joan - I wish I was young again but with age comes wisdom I guess.

[@davidirish2941]

Thanks Peter. Self isolation sucks but needs to be done and your videos help so very much. 👍🇨🇦

Glad to see you are keeping well. Thank You for taking the time to make these videos. I learn so much every time. I’m so happy to see some of my blackthorns have flowered for the first time this year. I hope to make my own KZbin videos by next year. Thank You for the inspiration.

[@hawkguy531]

It's so weird. I'm feeling so anxiou.s when I think about COVID-19, but I've been watching your videos lately and I get completely immersed in your process. It's so awesome. Keep it up. I think I'm going to bonsai this weekend!

[@joshhhuagarcia1890]

Beautiful walk Peter, thank you very much, good luck and health.

[@HollerHunter]

What a great way to start the day!!! Thank you so much for sharing. This was indeed a much needed morale boost during these difficult times.

[@petapan5743]

Thx for this Video in these Times, you lovley wise old man. Keep it up! You are awesome. The Walk into your Greenhaus after the outside nursery was awesome. Holy banana what a Passion.

[@saadiqbal2204]

A awesome tour really enjoyed this

[@finnsbiavl7483]

Thanks for you tour ... looking forward to your larch styling/pruning 😎😎🇩🇰

[@HrRezpatex]

This is very exciting times for me, spring have slowly started to come to Norway, but here winter can still come back. Since i am fresh in the bonsai world and only have been doing it for a couple of years and all my trees are yamadories, i am very excited every spring to see who have made it and not. Right now of 24 trees, there is only 1 tree that have not got new shoots, so i am very pleased. The first year, almost 80% of my trees died. Now it look like more then 80% survive. And i have Heron Bonsai`s videos and tips to thank for most of that. Thank you! :)

[@karinmoonhawk3720]

Beautiful tour indeed Mr Chan, thank you very much for sharing and please do keep safe 💖👍😊💖

Beautiful voice thanks

[@peterchan3100]

Oh I keep telling people that I hate the sound of my voice. I did go to an Elocution teacher some time back and she told me that there was no problem with my voice, so she refused to teach me, but she is a good friend now. If she is reading this comment - she will be amused.
