Pacific Bonsai Museum Visit

[@smokyhillbonsai-gerrettmor6373]

I finally had time to watch this video, I wanted to dedicate time to watch the entire video at once. This tour has renewed my desire to visit the Pacific Bonsai Museum. Thanks

[@BonsaiEcho]

On a typical grey and rainy PNW day, it’s a really neat place to visit. On a sunny day… glorious!

[@eamonnoneill1317]

Really loved this video. Lovely day there... such amazing quality and variety. Frothing!

[@BonsaiEcho]

Was a really nice day. Every day there is a nice day though!

[@daewonsong3668]

incredible video. thanks for sharing

[@BonsaiEcho]

Yuh😏

[@naeratsabouth]

Jared, thanks for sharing. Great video! Very detailed and thorough. Just like I was there!

[@BonsaiEcho]

I recently recorded an update video. I’ll get that uploaded in the next couple of weeks.

[@margaretsims4344]

What an amazing collection. How lucky you have a bonsai museum in your area.

[@BonsaiEcho]

One of the many reasons this area of the world is nicknamed the PNWonderland!

[@hobbyscape4433]

Lovely place. Beautiful trees. Thanks for sharing

영상잘보았어요^^ 보여주신분께 감사드립니다~~

A very enjoyable walk through. Thanks for making this.

[@clearwaterbeachhomesearchm5957]

Dan has put a very contemporary twist on bonsai. Done very very well

[@BonsaiEcho]

Different in style than what many are accustomed to. I appreciate his unique approach.

[@mattbrennan647]

Talk about Bonsai envy. Wow! Thanks

[@BenBSeattle]

Nice, so glad that this place is in our "backyard"

[@BonsaiEcho]

Right?! Definitely missing spring trips there right about now. ☺️

[@briankavanagh7191]

We have nothing like this in Liverpool 🇬🇧 nearest is in London😏. The "Gnarly" collection my favourite superb trees so natural looking and what a great idea with the sedum instead of moss, killing two birds here Bonsai and rock garden in one, off to the local garden centre to buy some 👍.

[@alvarolupinacci641]

Just had the chance to see this video today. Thank you a lot for making it! I plan visiting this "museum" since I have started on bonsai but never had the chance. It is on my bucket list, hope I can accomplish that. Thanks again, it gave me a little taste of what it is like, and I loved!

[@BonsaiEcho]

A must see for Bonsai lovers visiting the Seattle area🤩

[@abcmbonsai.blogspot]

Beautiful museum, thanks for share!! Cheers from México!!

[@BonsaiEcho]

I’ll be heading back soon for an autumn tour. Very pretty leaves!

[@jerrefisher2184]

Just finished your tour...wow and thanks!

[@BonsaiEcho]

Glad you enjoyed it. It’s a wonderful place!

[@BonsaiNature]

Sweet. Nice video. India

[@nofd1977]

Man i am speechless. I just got into Bonsai about 2 months back and to be honest im not even sure how it happened lol. All i can say is i am hooked. Awesome video brother. I am close to New Orleans and was thinking about taking a class from Guy Guidry. I heard he knows his stuff

[@BonsaiEcho]

Guy is the guy! Especially if you like bald cypress. Welcome to bonsai🤙

[@robaddonizio520]

Love this video Jared! I'm kind of in love with that Buttonwood in the beginning. Perhaps it is in one of my pots??? Looks real familiar. Cheers!

[@BonsaiEcho]

It very well may be one of your pots, Rob. There have been more and more American ceramic artists’ pieces showing up with the trees over the last 2 decades since I’ve been visiting the museum. And I’m loving it!

[@jerrefisher2184]

Still watching, but was wondering which redwood was the formal upright? I’m guessing coastal, but maybe Giant sequoia? We visited there around 15 or 17 years ago. Loved it then and still do.

[@BonsaiEcho]

Sequoia sempervirens: Coastal Redwood aka California Redwood

[@Tore1972Wisdom]

I would love to have a California Red Wood. We don´t have huges trees like that in my country. It would be so cool if somebody has one theres is 1.5 meters tall.......lol.

[@stevelacroix2917]

Used to live in Federal Way....never knew about this, although it might have just been a dream then...

[@BonsaiEcho]

It’s been there for quite some time. Opened in 1989 by the Weyerhaeuser Corporation and now operated by a non-profit organization. I’m sure the best is still yet to come!

[@nigellee9824]

Didn’t know that Kermit was a fan of bonsai…..

[@BonsaiEcho]

Learn something new every day 🐸

[@DeanKellyBonsai]

Good insight. How often do you visit? Sounds like it's quite frequent.

[@BonsaiEcho]

It’s about a 20 minute drive for me, so I have the luxury of somewhere between 3 and 300 visits a year🤓.

[@DeanKellyBonsai]

@@BonsaiEcho That's great. I've found being regularly inspired is one of the most essential elements to practicing bonsai at a high level. 👍🏼

[@saturnynetitan]

I really love Dan's work, but I totally get that it's not for everyone, and at the 23.58 mark I definitely broke into Queensryche 's "Jet City Woman" lol

[@BonsaiEcho]

If we search for beauty, we will find it in everything. Even next to one of the busiest freeways on the west coast which also happens to be directly under the traffic pattern of an international airport.

[@mattygroves]

Sometime can you talk about good bonsai books, both from a horticultural perspective and also aesthetic?

[@BonsaiEcho]

I’ll have a look see at what’s out there nowadays. I haven’t looked at mine for some time now.

[@jerrefisher2184]

Now that I’m further along, same question as to what kind of redwood was Dan’s?

[@BonsaiEcho]

Same kind, just dramatically different styling. His perspective really shines!

@@BonsaiEcho I like to timestamp as a bookmark. Thanks for the tour, you're very knowledgeable which made it more fun! Thanks again

[@BonsaiEcho]

I’ll be back again soon. There’s an amazing exhibit going on at the museum that is worth sharing.
