I watch Mr Chan almost every morning with a cup of coffee.. it’s like visiting with an old friend. Comfortable and wise. Thank you!

[@dildobaggins8987]

To anybody that’s not been to herons. No matter how busy Peter seems with things, he’ll always offer every courtesy he can when you visit. I can’t recommend visiting enough to everybody 👍🏻

[@peterchan3100]

Thank you - I love meeting my KZbin family.

I would go into massive debt at herons

[@dildobaggins8987]

@@yoteslaya7296 I got two absolutely fantastic mountain maples about 2ft high grown in shallow plant pots at a super reasonable price. Even better than a garden centre for mass grown stuff. The amount of mature trees that you can fall in love with though….you may be better off just enjoying the site than having the idea of leaving with one 😂 still wonderful to see them nonetheless

[@stephenlay9580]

Peter you are rich in knowledge and like the young man said you have substance, which means celebrity is nice but doesn't mean as much as substance. Keep up the good work and kind substance.

[@ianstanton]

What a charming video, so lovely to see Peter hanging out with Sam from Nilly's Bonsai . This is the equivalent of Iron Man mentoring Spiderman in the Avengers movies!

[@lizzieeaton9025]

[@kliether33]

Wonderful to see you guiding this young man! Please keep up the good work.

You can trust a bonsai Master with his scissors!

[@StraightWhiteGuy.]

Thanks to this channel I took the plunge this year, I now have a bunch of young trees and I'm about to grow a lot from seed in autumn. Love this channel ❤ and I wouldn't buy my bonsai materials and equipment anywhere else!

[@robryan9841]

Nilly's bonsai is a good channel, nice to see the lad on here 👏👏👏

[@lizzieeaton9025]

Couldn’t agree more!!

[@user-pt1cz4ot1e]

Those little trees were so wiggly, it looked like you were wiring them at 2x speed. 😂🥰 Awesome job. Super jealous. 💜

Wisdom and professional opinion is definitely being given..!!! But did ya c tha professional competition happen at 4:50 😂😂😂..!!! My man..!!!🖖😌🙏

[@SlickWilly79]

Peter, I bit the bullet and shaped my first bonsai, a low juniper that’s been growing in my front yard for 15 years. Thanks for the encouragement

[@MultigrainKevinOs]

Wow those concrete pots are so thin and elegant, excellent work!

[@lizzieeaton9025]

Check Out His KZbin Channel - Nilly’s Bonsai 😊

[@abrdds]

Sir, you are a celebrity... a superstar

[@AMAM-yf2om]

Great teacher...thank you for showing us your expertise sir.

[@TheUncleRuckus]

Those pots he made were really nice, I like the hexagonal pot and the oval pot with the rock texture on the outside the most, they were quite beautiful. 👍👍 I was wondering if Lilac could be used, I love Lilac I have several of them in my yard, I might have to pull a sucker plant out and see if I can give it a go.

[@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951]

Excellent!!!

[@Tinoshke07]

I know Sam from his channel here on YT. He has some very interesting videos about how to make your own pots. Here's the link to his channel : www.youtube.com/@nillysbonsai9636 I'm happy for Sam that he had the chance to meet Peter and that together they worked on some of his trees.

[@luigiluigi2098]

Ah yes Nillys Bonsai. Thought I recognised him.

[@lizzieeaton9025]

Thank you for sharing!

Hi Peter, I'm about 4-5 years into practicing bonsai, you've been a great inspiration to me in getting started in a hobby that I've had a great intrest in since the karate kid films from the 80's. I've been into horticulture since my childhood but never turned my hands to growing and keeping bonsai , i havest as many seeds as i can from various trees and shrubs from my central London neighborhood and lucky enough to have a garden, im particularly proud of producing cuttings from a 12yr old teatree bonsai that i was was gifted as a Christmas present 3-4 years ago. Thank you for your video's and your books 😊

[@MidniteSan]

Thx for sharing Peter 👍

[@hashiramabonsai]

What a nice human being! Wish I could come to herons with my collection one day... Trying to set up my own nursery in Switzerland as i fell in love with bonsai and wish i can enjoy a place like herons one day!

[@jilllawrence5174]

Just love these vlogs!, so inspiring!,,,❤️

[@maplepotato3676]

I wish there was a nursery like this I could go to near me. I'm in the U.S and started some trees from seed. Out of 84 or so seeds I've got six successful plants which I feel like is a low ratio lol. I need to work on my seed starting. It's been a lot of trial and error, especially because in the high desert where I am the summers are scorching, so I ended up damaging them trying to harden them off too early. They're inside recovering under an LED light instead. If there was a nursery like this near me you probably wouldn't be able to get rid of me, I'd be there all the time! Thank you for being so generous with your knowledge and experience, it helps me learn as I go.

[@luigiluigi2098]

If there isn't one. Start one!

This is what i need when i tried to make bonsai.

[@yoteslaya7296]

When you work with young material it helps you understand scale. Bonsaify has a great video about making beginner mistakes and talks about using the proper techniques for achieving balanced scale.
